Thinkpads Forum

I am trying to find a new Backlit UKE (UK Enhanced?) genuine keyboard for my W530.

I found one on eBay which is FRU: 04X1382 CS12 B/L KBD UKE SRX - Secondary

What does Secondary mean?

How can I tell by the photos if the keyboard is genuine?

Should I be looking for a Primary keyboard instead?

Where do others get their keyboards from?

Thanks

That SRX is not even "Secondary", according to other users it should be "Last-And-Only-If-You-Are-Desperate".
Look for at least a Chicony (CHY) or better: LiteOn (LTN) keyboard.

And do you really need KB backlight?
After all that W530 still has the Thinklight (near the webcam)!

Where does it say that it is an SRX?

This one is a LiteOn but not backlit

YOU said so, as well as the W530 partslist:
