Inspiron 1520 - keyboard replacement?

I have an Inspiron 1520 laptop with the standard silver/gray keyboard.  In the past, I have found black keyboards easier to see and, thus, easier to use.  Is there an option to replace my silver-gray keyboard with a black one?  I believe there is a Dell part option for this unit (I think the part number is JM629), but I wanted to verify if this unit would be compatible with my system.  Any thought, folks?

Look for a Vostro 1500 keyboard - same system in black.

Hi.  Did you end up using the JM629?  I have an Inspiron 1521 that uses the silver NK750, which is out of stock.  Dell says that the JM629 is not compatible, but did it work for you?

***UPDATE*** - The JM629 is completely compatible with the 1521.  I bought one from amazon for $13.  All of the keys (including the function keys) are  functional.
