    I haven't tried it, but I think it would be hard unless you could find an extact fit keyboard or some how custom make a moulding around a some what smaller keyboard.

    It won't work, coz GT780's MB has 2 connectors: LED backlit and keyboard, when GT680/683 has only one for keyboard input. Besides of that it even mounted in different ways on these laptops. GT780 keyboard is fixed with screws under faceplate. Both keyboards have same dimensions from what I heard.
