    I recently received a dv5t. I ordered the bronze finish. The keyboard keys are bronze-colored, too. I dislike how they feel very slippery, like my fingers are about to slide off. Is this just a matter of the color... would other colors of keys have a more secure feel to them? Is it possible to order a set of replacement keys?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I got the black exterior with chrome interior. I'm not sure how "slippery" yours are, but mine are kind of the same; nothing too serious, mind don't slide off. Maybe you should go to the store and try out the chrome keys before buying new ones?

    I like them this way they feel better to me i have a dv7 in both colors. The only problem with my keyboard is the A key is falling off.
