    So I have an M18x R2 with a US keyboard layout. Somehow the rubber tore under the W key which really made playing games quite hard. I'e popped the key off to mess with it some and got it semi working. Looking into ordering one but just trying to make sure I get the right one. I've looked at the part listings on the owners lounge post and seen the 2 options. My question is... can I get the non US language (French canadian) one and swap the keys over? Reason I ask is I can find that one quite a bit cheaper than the US one.
