    I know this is a minor thing, but the keyboard on my brand new G75VX squeaks terribly (especially the spacebar). I've looked around and have seen suggestions for other models, but most of those mention removing the key to apply some grease of some sort, and it appears that G75VX keys are non removable. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm asking because it's annoying me enough to get it replaced, but I'd be truly irritated if I go to the time and effort to RMA the damn thing and the replacement keyboard is just as bad. Anyone try to lubricate a key on a keyboard without removing the key? Thanks in advance.

    I've had many keyboards as a product of my many RMAs while I owned a JH, and all of them had been squeaky at one time or another. The squeakiness would always go away after a couple of weeks, as the keyboard "wore in." I would give it no less than a month, and if it hasn't gone by then, then you may want to think about repairs/buying a new keyboard.

    Well, when I said "brand new" I should have said 7 weeks :) I'll keep using it for another month or so and see if it improves at all. Thanks for the response.
