    As an FYI: I've taken the "extended model" bezel and ground it down to work with a normal/emmisive keyboard, but to go from normal/emmisive to rubber (which is what you're doing), you need to purchase the other one :(

    Thanks Rob, so I know that there are two sizes of bezels, I had thought that the emmisive and rubberized were the same. The rubber one is the extended version? I took one bezel off a rubberized KB, and put it on a emmisive KB w/o any modification, and want to replace the rubberized one. I just was outbid on flea-bay for one w/screws. I'll keep looking.

    On my CF-31, it came with OEM with a rubber keyboard, I of course didn't want it and I actually ended up grinding down the "F11" perimeter around the outside (it's the red button) to make it fit :)

    Just make it work that's all!! :p

    Two types
    The extended for the rubber only
    The short for both regular and emmisive

    I have an extended (computer came with rubber installed) and it worked perfectly fine with the emissive that's in there now. It sits right against the raised edge on F11. Don't know if it means anything but its the emissive with the labels.
