I am planning on buying a MacBook Air 11.6" in the US since it is much much less expensive there than in Sweden but it is impossible to buy it with a swedish keyboard in the US. I thought about taking the different keys (ÅÖÄ and so forth) of another swedish keyboard but I'm not sure they will fit or even have the same exact look.

I have seen the new MBA in a store in Sweden and I thought it looked like the keys where now painted with silver letters instead of being transparent to let the light in, however this might just have been the case since the lights in the store was very strong.

Has anyone else thought of doing something like this also? It´s possible to order a french keyboard in the US online Apple Store and it has the exact same cut out in the aluminium so it could be possible to exchange the keys for the correct ones for my localization but I'll probably just go for the US keyboard if I decide to buy it in the US, the only big difference is the Enter-key, its vertical instead of horizontal.
