Make sure to give Dell another call to order your replacement keyboard.

 

[silencer534]

why?

your keyboard will probably be fine. the 8500's are notorious for bad/bouncy keyboards. the 'fix' has been a bit of foam underneath the keyboard to keep it from moving around too much inside the casing. when you start typing you'll either notice right away or it should be fine.
