    Just bought an Acer Ferrari 4002 and am really satisfied with it so far. However, the keyboard seems to have a problem. Whenever I put my hands on the keyboard, I hear this annoying clicking sound; something I assume to be due to poor rubber padding. This isn't covered under Acer warranty and I'm going to sell it, but I'm just curious. Is this common with Acer's Ferrari 4000 line of laptops? It'll be nice to know.

    Thanks!

    Could be a loose keyboard.

    Flip it over and tighten the two screws that attach the keyboard to the chassis

    That's weird. Tried it and it didn't help much. Screws are as tight as it can be. Oh well, let's hope it doesn't get so much on my nerves that I decide to sell... again. sigh..

    I have annoying clicking sounds from the keys themselves when I just lightly touch them....I don't know if that is the same annoying noise you mean....yeah it is definately annoying. Not a return issue for me, but still annoying.
