    Hi

    I plan to buy the Asus N73JQ-TZ115V.
    However this comes with an AZERTY keyboard but I want to replace it with a QWERTY keyboard.
    I checked in Asusparts but there is no keyboard (or any other accessories) for the N73JQ. There are however a QWERTY keyboards for the N73JF-1A, N73JG-1C, N73JN-1A, N73JN-1B model.
    My questions are
    (1) If the N73JF-1A (or other models mentioned) keyboard would fit in the N73JQ-TZ115V model?
    (2) Is it also very difficult to change the keyboard?
    (3) Ideally I'd prefer to replace the N73JQ keyboard with a chiclet style keyboard. But does anyone know of an Asus Chicklet style keyboard that will fit with the N73JQ keyboard?

    Thanks

    1. It should. I don't see why it wouldn't since they all share the same chassis.
    2. Not at all. All you need is a small flat-head screwdriver.
    3. Asus do use chicklet-style keyboards, but I'm not sure if these are available for the N73 series. (Most likely not)
