    The one for the Vostro 1500 will work but it's the same keyboard for the most part and will likely feel exactly the same.

    I love the keyboard on my 1700 - feels good.

    My sister in law has the 1400, I like the fact that its plastic like a full size keyboard. I dont like this one because it feel like tin. Drives me :mad:

    personally to me the Vostro keyboards feel higher grade. They are firmer and less floppy and as you say tin or i would call floppy/cheap/old

    The Vostro 1400 also uses the same keyboard. I rather like the one on my 1520. It's just as good as my thinkpad keyboard.

    But ...

    XPS1330, XPS1530, Vostro 1400, Vostro 1500, Inspiron 1420, and Inspiron 1520 all use the same keyboard.

    Vostro keyboards are black
