    Hi All,

    Wasn't sure if this should go in here or upgrades... but it's specific to HP/COMPAQ models. I basically like the dv2000 (or compaq equivalent) but want a pointstick device... does anyone know if I can buy a nc6400 keyboard and put it in the dv2000?

    Thanks,

    Nope, it probably wouldn't fit either way.

    The shapes of the keyboards are different, and the dv2000 mobo probably doesn't have a way to accommodate the trackstick.
