Physical keyboard replace to another layout
Inspiron 16 7610
I have a damaged "German layout" keyboard in my laptop. I found a complete palm rest (of course, 3 fans compatible) including a keyboard and touchpad on eBay, but it has a "US layout" keyboard. The layout would be more comfortable for me than the German one, but the question is will it fit in my laptop? Will the BIOS be able to handle it?

Did the keyboard and touchpad come off the same model of laptop?
