    Hey guys,

    I'm about to go the store and pick up a M11x R3 but the thing is, it will be a french model, so the keyboard will be AZERTY.

    The store i'm buying it from, is cheaper than buying direct from DELL.

    The question is... can i replace the R3 keyboard with a keyboard from a R1 model?

    I've a guy on ebay that has the R1 QWERTY keyboard for sale, and we are not sure if they are compatible at all.

    Does any one have a clue on this?

    Thanks a lot.

    Well when you first setup your computer obviously you know that it asks you for your keyboard preferences.... So I'm just ASSUMING that if you did a fresh install, set it to QWERTY, and popped on the english keyboard then it would work

    I'm aware of that.

    I just want to be sure that if I buy his keyboard it is going to work without any problems.
