Yeah, I looked up what people have done, and the EC alone makes it not worthwhile. And like you said, there's no availability. Ebay only shows the Japanese layout. I think the T480(s) keyboard is fine. I'm quite comfortable with the Tx30 chiclet keyboard, and 480 looks about the same. I was debating buying X1C 13, but this T480(s) may be a fun Christmas break project.

Now this I don't agree with; I have made no software changes to my T480 whatsoever, and the keyboard works more or less as expected. Some of the Fn-key shortcuts do not match the key labels (behaving instead like a stock T480) and the microphone mute button doesn't work, but otherwise everything's perfect out of the box. Speaker mute, volume keys, navigation keys all fine.
