Chosen Solution
I’ve got a Mid-2007 white MacBook and i got a black topcase. I want to swap the white and black keys and keep the white topcase to make my Mac look cooler. The new keyboard has the new functions keys (Dashboard, exposé, etc) but my MacBook hasn’t… Is there a way to make the multimedia keys F7-F10, the brightness and volume work?
The main issue here is that you must install the upper case that has the functionality you are wanting (Expose, etc). The newer upper case is not only backward compatible with your older MacBook, but the new key functionality is gained by upgrading the case. Very cool. After installation, its a free-for-all. Swap keys all you want and the function behind the key is not going to change. I personally have alternating black and white horizontal rows on my MacBook keyboard, although I do not have the fancy upgraded keyboard with the dashboard and expose key functions. Have fun!
