Saw a Rubber Backlite Keyboard on Ebay.

there is a notch on the right hand side which seems to fit the 29 case.
Is it really a 30 KB , anyone can help to clarify it. Thanks.

That will work in a CF-30... Don't worry about the notch. It has 3 ribbon connectors right?

Thanks! JB,
I know it can use on 30, but want to make sure it is a 29 KB which can use in 30 or it is really a 30KB?

Part # CF-WKB301VM is the cf-30 keyboard
Part # CF-WKB291AM is for the cf-29/cf-30

I dont think there will be any issues as long as its a 3 connecter, as Rob said

Thanks tomcat57.
The fact is that I don't want my 30FT to use a 29 KB.

The cf-30 has a metal bracket under the keyboard that has slots that hold the keyboard in place
On my cf-30 mk-2 ft series I replaced the standard keyboard with the emissive backlite model, and had to separate the stock keyboard from that bracket as I purchased a used keyboard
I do not know if the replacement keyboards come complete with the bracket, or if the keyboard always has to be separated as I did

Thanks for the information.
the 390013741480 seller have not mention about the P/N , it may be a 291, that's not my favour.
Thanks again to JB and tomcat57 :P :P :P

That is one of the few authorized toughbook sellers
His name is Warren
I would guess that thats for the cf-30 , but to be sure ask he through the eBay PM system

I have not PM Warren , yet my friend told me that he had get a used CF-30 rubber backlite keyboard half years ago with 3xx + S/H, but he had not install it because he don't like the feeling. He gave me the keyboard to try and if I like it, I can get it with very reasonable price (more than 50% depreciation) the keyboard is on my hand now, The outlook is similar to 39001374148 but I can't find the P/N that tomcat57 mentioned. Instead N860-1435-T001/05 appeared on the bottom. Any one know the P/N of this KB?
It also came with a keyboard cover DFHR6299 which is made of plastic.
Any one can help. Thanks.
