    Hi all, first post here! so please go easy on me :rolleyes:

    I've got 2 notebooks with 2 different keyboards, Clevo M570RU Divine-X with French keyboard and an Alienware Area 51M M7700 with a US Keyboard.

    Can I swap these keyboards with each other?

    Superficially they look very similar. :)

    Want to use the M570RU with the US keyboard mainly.

    As far as I know, you cannot swap them out (but I could well be wrong). As I understand it (granted that I've never asked Sager for more information), Clevo's notebooks are unique to each system. The Alienware M7700 is a Clevo D900T.

    There may be a few other posters who have actually tried this, though, so wait a couple of days to see if there are any other responses.

    No. I went over this before.

    You must contact your vendor (or any other Clevo vendor) to purchase a new keyboard for each particular notebook.
