    It seems my m11x isn't flat, I can push down the front left corner and it'll move up and down.

    Should I call warranty and tell them what's up?

    Or is this under cosmetics and not covered?

    Thanks, just don't want to waste my time on the phone.

    Edit- I'm not missing any of those rubber pieces.

    i think your backplate screws arnt tight and are probly loose. mine got stripped and had to take 2 from inside my m11x and use them with the backplate, i cant find anywhere that sells the same type of screws.

    I called and they sent a tech to replace the bottom. It was level after that. Mine's an r2 though.

    I had the same thing, and it was the final straw out of 3 things wrong that had me get a replacement. Had all rubber feet, tightening the screws didn't help.

    I call and get it fixed one way or the other, it's probably not hurting anything but it's annoying.

    my front right corner is raised up as well (R2). i thought my table was lop-sided, but seems like people are experiencing this as well.

    I had this issue when I got my R1 a year ago. Drove me nuts. I took off the bottom panel and then put it back on, fixed the issue.

    Maybe I'll try this in this morning.

    If not, maybe I'll give them a call.

    It's just REALLY annoying because my left palm lays there and when it moves... eh I just get annoyed lol.
