    Hi, i am planning to buy an alienware m17x r3 but i normally use an azerty keyboard. As they use Qwerty keyboards in the US i was wondering if it's possible to swap the keys of the keyboard like you could on a regular keyboard and if you could how easy would it be or how would you do it?

    Just buy a AZERTY keyboard as swapping letters (if possible,i never had the curiosity) is ok the other signs will be different.
    If you're not a slow typer than you can change the language in Windows(Q would be A,W -> Z and so on).
    You can after sell your QWERTY one.
