JIS keyboard on a US MacBook isn't expensive... (Score 1)

Since the part is a non-exchange module, an Apple service center (try an independent, not an Apple Store) can get you a JIS keyboard to swap onto a cheaper US MacBook Pro for (their cost) under $50.

Example: the part number for a JIS keyboard on a MBP Core 2 15" is J922-7908.

OT, i know...
