    I'm planning on buying a Lenovo Y720 but it comes with QWERTZ. Does aybody know if replacing the keys voids warranty?

    Why would you want to replace keys on a new machine?

    I'm guessing because it's a QWERTZ keyboard and not a QWERTY, so it's not a US/North American model.

    Can't you just change the keyboard layout in the OS?

    Perhaps, but if you change the physical key that doesn't change what it does when it's struck.

    You can change the mapping on the OS. I only want to change them so I know what I'm pressing :p
