    I tried searching around, but couldn't find anything on this. I KNOW there was a topic, but I can't find it. Tried the search on the site and google.com search but nada.

    Anyway, does anyone have any pictures of this? I'm considering doing this as I think it would look cool, and different.

    I also tried ms paint but that didn't work so well.

    I did this with my old Inspiron 1520. All you need to do it is a Vostro 1500 keyboard. I don't have pics of it on a M1330 of course though.

    It looked good on the Inspiron, I didn't do it on my XPS because I honestly don't think it will look good.

    I would love a black keyboard on the m1330. Add a matte screen (instead of the glossy one) and I'd be very happy!

    The black keyboard on the new Studio 15 looks pretty darn good.

    I was looking in the wrong forum apparently. I think I might do that and sell the silver keyboard.

    If it has to go in for warranty repair, I'll stick my 1520 keyboard on

    I am wondering the same exact thing, or maybe even the keyboard from the new Studio line...
