A2K keyboard for A500

[curtis]

I was wondering if the keyboard of an A2K could be used inside an A500?

I was thinking about transferring the circuit board from a ratty 500 keyboard to a better A2K spare I've got.  

The reason is, I've discovered almost all of my 500 keyboards have issues and surprisingly enough, they're all different manufactures and use slightly different mechanisms so I can just swap keycaps!

What I'm wanting to do is use the electronics from an A500 keyboard and the mechanical parts and array from an A2K so it will still have the reset, LED's, AND fit in the A500 case.

Well, to answer my own question, no, it cannot be done.

The circuit  board on the A2K keyboard is one big piece with the rest of the keyboard.  In other words, the control circuitry cannot be pulled.

Guess I'll check fleabay.
