Just for clarification, my replacement keybed was the KDP. There was a keybed before the KDP (the original shipped batch). I have no idea what the keybeds are known as after the KDP. I suppose the keybed setting on the latest OS will give them all to a certain point.

Thank you all for taking time to reply.
I know many are tired talking about this old issue.

I found some older posts on this subject, part number etc. Contact strips were available at parts is parts yesterday but when I was ready to order today, it showed out of stock. Maybe this thread triggered someone to stock up, lol.
Anyway, I hope strips will be available soon.

Also some posts suggest that keyboard selection (kdp, kdp1) should be possible somewhere in global, but I do not see anything like that..

It's not in Global, it's in the internal test, which users are not supposed to know about (or use, or need to use)...see Ojustaboo's post of 03/24/13:

My (original) K73 came with blue contact strips and was set to KDP1...I installed blue contact strips on my K88 to solve the note cutoff problem, but didn't change the keyboard selection, and it's been working fine for more than a year...I just changed it to KDP1, and it "might" have a little better (wider range) keyboard response, "or maybe it don't *"...subtle improvements with piano sounds are hard to quantize...
