wow, here they tell you how to swap the new style lenovo keyboard for the solid old one. That's what i call a mod. https://www.instructables.com/ThinkPad-T430T430sX230-Classic...

Unfortunately one also needs to swap the firmware for the top row of the keyboard to function. I wouln't dare to do all this, out of fear of thrashing the laptop.

I suspect that these new fangled butterfly and chicklet style keyboards were especially designed as means to extract more money on inevitable keyboard repairs. (and don't dare to eat any potato chips in front of the keyboard).
