    Just received my m11x and noticed something odd with my keyboard. When I change the keyboard color to white, my caps lock key seems to have a greenish tint to it. All of my other keys seem to be perfect. Has anyone else experienced this same discoloration on any of their keys?

    there have been a bunch of threads on this, so a search will give you a precise answer from Brian, the Alienware rep, but basically it's normal for it to be like that.

    Maybe you should wash your hand more thoroughly before you type next time.
