The first model is for Lenovo ThinkPads T410-T430, T510-T530, W510-W530, and X220-X230 (including s, i, and t suffixed variants).

Inspiration and some design from https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60
Older models like xx20/xx30 have a lot more keyboard thickness (height?) than newer ones like T460s/T470s, so lid closing clearance is not expected be an issue.
