Does your keyboard flex?

[Sexybeast]

Please state your model (if not in your signature) and whether or not the keyboard flexes. Meaning if you press down on certain areas of it, do you see it sink in, or do you sink certain parts sink in a bit and move as you type. What if you pressed your keys really hard, anything?

You see kids, what causes keyboards to flex is from having a small space between the keyboard and the chasis itself. As everytime you type, you will see and hear the keyboard move and touch against the chasis materials.

I'm typing with my heels right now. Nothing. Sweet, sweet Lenovo Z60M.

Edit: Just realized this was in the Asus forum. Sorry.

Asus Z63A. Wonderful keyboard and I haven't noticed any flex, but I think if I pushed hard enough it would (but I don't dare try...)

push as in with several fingers, or push as in typing a key harder.

No flex whatsoever on the Z63A.

ALL laptop keyboards flex, just the nature of it. If you've taken your keyboard off before you'd understand.

My Z70Va keyboard barely flexes, it's lovely, but yes I've used the Z63A and holy crap that keyboard is nice. Different, and I like it better than my Z70Va's, but I still like my Z70Va's keyboard.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Ive always been annoyed by this problem on all brands of laptops. I never undertsood why they were unable to make a laptop keyboard feel like a desktop one.

My new ASUS that i got yesterday, well it does it a little bit but only noticeable if i press hard on the keys when typing. If I type normally, its fine.

I never knew with laptop keyboards that you cant type on it like on a desktop. And if I were to get rid of it, how do you pop the keyboard off this model? i heard its hard with asus.

I own a Z81sp and I don't have any problems with keyboard flex. I used to own an HP notebook before I got my ASUS and I can tell you that the felx drove me up the wall.

You need to remove a couple of screws on the bottom of the notebook designated with a "K". Then you have to take a flat edge (perhaps a screw driver...maybe your credit card, etc) and unattach three clips at the top of the keyboard by pushing them down. It really isn't that hard

A little bit, at the delete button and the arrow keys, but I don't mind.
