m16 R1, change from standard RGB to per key keyboard?
Alienware m16 R1
I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the standard RGB keyboard on an Alienware m16 R1 to the per key RGB keyboard? And if it is, does anyone have the part number, since I can't seem to find it anywhere? Is it as simple as swapping out the keyboard. or is there anything else I would need to keep in mind?
Thanks

The only place you'll find parts for a system this new -- if they're even available -- is Dell; call Spare Parts.
If you're in the US, 1-800-372-3355
You need to replace the palmrest assembly, which includes the keyboard. The process is not trivial.

The only option now i think is to contact Dell directly. In the next month think we could start to see it available online.
