[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1422170, member: 56379"] I was looking more closely at the two keyboard photos...and I'm not really sure cutting the aluminum is a great solution. If the Norwegian aluminum topcase is modified to fit the English keyboard...I'm afraid that the openings for the keys in the modified area will be larger than the key/keys themselves...and so some keys will be "floppy"/non-rigid. It may work...but it ain't going to be pretty!;) - Nick p.s. Hopefully the "screw hold-down patterns" for the different keyboards are the same...otherwise the keyboard swap won't work because the differing keyboard won't be able to be properly mounted to the aluminum topcase.
