    Just wondering if there are any companies out there who make keyboards that would swap into the NP8170/P170HM?

    There's probably cheapo replacements on ebay.
    Nothing unusual

    Not particularly looking for backlighting. Just a different keyboard configuration. Specifically, the numpad area.

    You can always reconfigure buttons...I'm not sure how you do it, but I know you can google it and find out.

    edit: Remap, not reconfigure
