    like the title says. i've got a sz160p and just bought a sz680. it is possible to switch the keyboards since i can't stand the silver keyboard that i ordered on my 680. also, for some reason, there's a bit more of a "spring" on the older vaio which i prefer.

    I was thinking about something like this too. If you look at the FZ and SZ series the keyboards look almost exactly the same, yet the FZ's has much better keys IMO. I'm hoping that they are swappable in the SZ, but I don't even have my SZ yet, I have no idea what the connectors are like, and no one could answer when I asked either. Good luck though, make sure you let everyone know what you find.
