    Hello everyone,

    I was just wondering, if any one, at all, knows any way: of being able to remove the M1710 keyboard, and replace it with a keyboard that has a touch stick on it? Maybe even taking the old XPS Extreme Edition laptop keyboard, or
    D820 keyboard and moving it to the M1710, or M170 maybe?

    I am not sure if this is possible, or not. I've looked around, for hours, upon hours, to try and find any custom keyboards, mods, upgrades or such for the keyboard. But I've ran across nothing, even a keyboard with a touch stick for the M170, would be nice. I "thought" a while back, while viewing the business section the XPS's, I noticed a touch stick on a M1710, but after about a week later. It seemed to have vanished without a trace. I am guessing this happened, either for one or two reasons, to tired when I was searching for it, and just thought I seen a touch stick on it and or they replaced it with the blue-ray updated M1710 and took the touch stick off, once again.

    P.S. Sorry if I am asking this in the wrong forum, I am pretty new to this site, and all. Thanks for any help at all, I really appreciate it; thanks again, bye.
