    Hey guys,

    I was wondering which models of Acer Timeline have the "matte", as opposed to "glossy" style keyboard. My 3810T came with a glossy chiclet keyboard, but I really hate how it picks up fingerprints, and I want a matte replacement. It's an 11.5x30cm keyboard.

    It looks like Acer reuses this size of keyboard alot, I've identified the following models as potentially compatible. Can you guys tell me which ones have a "matte" keyboard?

    If you don't know the difference, the matte keyboard has a fine granular feel too it. The glossy type like I have is shiny and smooth.

    Compatible keyboard models I've identified that have similar looking keyboards:
    4235, 4240, 4535, 4540, 4736, 4736Z, 4740G

    5935G, 5940G, 5942G (backlit - especially interested if this is matte, as I want to do a backlit mod eventually)

    3820, 3820G, 3820T, 3820TG, 3820TZ, 3820TZG, 4551, 4551G, 4553, 4625, 4625G, 4741, 4741G, 4741z, 4741zg, 4745, 4745G, 4745Z, 4820, 4820G, 4820T, 4820TG, 4820TZG, 5332

    Which ones of the above are matte, and which are glossy?
