    I have a dv6700t with the black keyboard. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of oil on the keyboards so I plan to replace it with the silver one. Has anyone managed to replace their black keyboards with the silver keyboards? Could you post a picture just to see how it looks like with the regular dv6700t notebook? Thanks.

    I havent actually seen anyone do it before, but it will work.

    In my imagination, i can see it looking weird on a normal pavilion. I was thinking of doing it before aswell, but i can tell the colors wont match

    Use your imagination, put a photo of both next to each other.

    IMO they dont match, but i dont know about yours.
