    I have recently purchased the vaio SZ1M but do not like the black keyboard it is fitted with.

    I have seen other international versions of the SZ which has a silver keyboard, but cannot find a reference to the part number. However, I have seen the S series keyboard available to buy online.

    So, could someone either help me track down a silver SZ keyboard, or tell me if the S series keyboard is the same, so I could use an S series one instead?
