hi there friends , i just wanted to ask something really crazy , hope you at least look in to it.

i have the the Fangbook hx-400 labtop (MSI GT70) and its the one with only 1 red color backlit keyboard , here is the question:

-can i buy a keyboard with multi color backlit and change it with mine , is it only the keyboard is the difference or also motherboard support.

i know its just easier for me to sell this one and buy another labtop , but i like to try new things , and if it can be done , then wow amazing.

for ex this Keyboard : http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-For-MSI-GT60-GT70-MS-1762-Keyboard-Colorful-Backlit-US-Compatible-WIN-7-/161222561046?pt=US_Laptop_Replacement_Keyboards&hash=item25899d0d16

will it fit , it says the model support is:GT70 MS-1762 / mine is GT70 MS-1763

thanks a lot for even reading this crazy question
 
The keyboards in a laptop are specifically engineered to fit in that laptop, maybe a couple of other models. You could check with MSI/CyberpowerPC/Fangbook/Whatever and see if they have a replacement that's a different color. But you can't just buy any ol' keyboard and swap it in.
