    Intalled the black vostro on my XPS M1530 - took about 10 minutes. Already did it to my M1330. It helps me see the keys better in dim lighting.
    Pics attached.

    Seen a black keyboard on a XPS M1530 a few times, but i'll say it again: Looks pretty sick, man. I love the look. How does the blackness of the keyboard match up with the blackness of the glossy media bar thing near the screen?

    A. No. You can order the part through Dell or Ebay.
