2025 new project, pineapple60s

Row-Staggered Ergonomic (Alice) keyboard with Kailh PG1316 for installing ThinkPad X13 Gen2

For this modification, I chose the target PC for the following reasons:

• It has a Trackpoint
• The keyboard can be easily replaced (the latest ThinkPads are getting difficult)
• The Trackpoint buttons should be on the case, not on the keyboard unit. Otherwise, I would need to attach the buttons to the keyboard I was making.

The following ThinkPads meet the above requirements:

• T440 to T460, and so on
• T460s and T470s
• X13 Gen2 and Gen3

X240 to X270 are also close, but we need to remove the motherboard to remove the keyboard.
