Solved Can I Use A Keyboard From An Ibook G4 12 In Here Ibook G3 12

Chosen Solution

so i have had my iBook G3 for a while, the keyboard sucks, though. it has the spongy effect, and after doing some research, i read that the keyboards from iBook G4’s are much better, I was wondering if i could buy an ibook g4 keyboard and put it in my G3 with no problem, do they use the same connector? is the cable the same form? thanks in advance. Also, I have an 800Mhz Model A1005

My daughter didn’t like her iBook G4 12" 1.33Ghz keyboard so I installed a iBook G3 12" 800mhz keyboard on the 1.33 G4 and it worked great. Connector was the same, no fitting, it was a very simple swap. I think all iBooks G3 dual USB (not the clamshell) and the iBook G4 have the same keyboard connector. You can even fit a 14" keyboard in a 12" case but you’ll have to fold the cable a little under the keyboard.

OK QEII Student IT so check this link and this pict: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61008642@N0…

the iBook G3 12" keyboard does work and fit in the iBook G4 12" but the keyboard cable for the iBook G4 12" is shorter so you can’t fit a G4 12" keyboard in an iBook G3 12". You can, however, fit an iBook G4 14" keyboard in an iBook G3 12".

Will a ibook G4 12" keyboard fit inside a ibook G4 14"?

Can you used a ibook g3 keyboard in a ibook g4 14 inch?

Will an iBook G4 14" Keyboard fit into a 14" G3 iBook?

One thing that you can do is take the keys and the assembly from the G4 and install it on the G3 keyboard which would probably make it feel like a G4.
