[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1422139, member: 24098"] I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on this, Nick. The keyboard is a separate piece - it's not welded or permanently attached - although you are correct that the service part will normally include the palm rest. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybZdWyUGdUM]Macbook Pro Unibody Keyboard Replacement - YouTube[/url] However, what the OP is proposing - modifying the keyboard openings to accommodate a US keyboard - is not a simple endeavor. I think I would be tempted to replace the entire top case, rather than trying to Dremel out the needed openings... that just sounds like a recipe for disaster. [/QUOTE]
