And unfortunately like all Thinkpads, the most boneheaded decision ever, switching the function and control keys, dealbreaker for many.

Shouldn't there be a software function that switches them back? I do something similar on my Samsung chromebook pro to make it similar to a Mac

There's an option in the BIOS to switch them, if you can live with the labels being incorrectSmilie

As noted, the function and control functions can be swapped in the software. I believe it can be done outside of bios but it definitely can be done. I cant recall if they are the same size keys and if so they could be physically swapped as well without much trouble I'm guessing.

I've a thinkpad, and i've swapped thier functionalities in bios. But keys stays mislabeled, so i bought keyboard stickers from Ebay and placed on ctrl and fn keys. Now everything is great. Thinkpad keyboards are amazing and these key placements shouldn't deter anyone from buying it.

Can you not pull the keys out and switch them?
