Actually changes happen. I had a tablet a few years ago that broke the
screen and I discovered there had been 4 different digitizer designs for
the screen on that single model, and they were all incompatible (so you had
to get the right glass/digitizer combo to work with the controller on the
mainboard). It was an Asus, so not a small company. Of course I had to
have the least common and hence hardest to find one.

Jeff, Thank you for your great answer.
The other link to LMGTFY was a little RAS.
I didn't know that there was a change of key caps in the production of the
keyboard.
Was it just the key caps? or did they change the whole switch???
But just the same, it sounded like there was some sort of different
keyboard layout, but it's not that. Just the shape and print on the Keys.
I doubt this sort of thing would happen today. I mean, companies are so
big now, that nobody wants to change anything in a design for fear that it
might screw up the product. Back then.. people were fast to think on their
feet!
Cheers,
Josh

Early Vic-20’s had keys that were shaped the same and had the same font as
the PET/CBM line of computers. Later Vic’s (and all 64’s) had re-designed
keys that were more rounded and had a smaller font. Early Vic-20’s are
also known as “Square key Vic-20’s”.
