    I have an XPS M1530 and was wondering if there are any keyboards that are interchangeable with it? I'm not sure if I like the silver stock keyboard and thinkign about just swapping keyboards intermittently.


    EDIT: Sorry I accidentally sent it twice - please close this one.

    You can swap in a black vostro 1400/1500 keyboard, part JM629. I did that on my m1330. It looks better, and the keys have a crisper feel to them.

    Check e-bay for some good deals. Mine was about $22 including shipping to Canada.

    Like the pic on your profile?

    Good thought that, matches better with the rest of the case. Got a colleague who will probably use this!

    Or possibly the Studio 15 backlit keyboard... that would be cool.
