What other models have compatible touchpads to the t60?

#1 Post by Glaurung-quena » Sat Nov 18, 2023 11:20 am

The cost of palmrest/touchpad assemblies for the t60 has shot way, way up. :(
Also, I am no longer seeing many standalone touchpads for sale.

I have a few intact palmrests with touchpads that no longer work properly (usually a dead button). I'd very much like to make them work again without spending a fortune. Are there any other Thinkpad models with interchangeable touchpads to the t60/t61? Do widescreen t61 touchpads work with the narrowscreen palmrests?

About 5 years ago these brand new touchpads were still selling for like £5 brand new. I picked up a couple, but posting them to the US from where I live just wouldn't be economical. Hopefully someone will chime in with a possible solution, regarding cross platform compatibility (maybe T500 or T400 compatibility?).

I would expect all T6x/R6x/Z6x have the same touchpad, even when the palmrest assembly itself is different. I haven't verified this.
I would also expect T/R*00 are different. They look different for sure.

There's this, for example:

X61 7673-V2V, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G, X32 (IPS Screen), A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
