La nappe du clavier A1200 est un tout petit peu plus grande que celle de l'A600.
A1200 keyboard connector on the MB is a bit more larger than the A600.

Yes, but not directly. (rip off KB MCU form A1200 PCB, create own KB MCU for A600 matrix (or rip this MCU from A600 PCB), connect this instead original KB MCU OR faster - translate by additional MCU KB matrix from A600 to A1200)

In fact, only a few pins/traces are different, and the A600 keyboard lacks the numeric pad, so you can do it.

Check the thread about installing a 1200 motherboard inside an A600 case and you'll see this can be done.

Jimbob005 is the man to ask about this, as the A1200 in an A600 case is his project.
