    Can anyone compare the feeling of the Keyboard of G73JH against
    1.mbp
    2. envy 15
    3. thinkpad?

    I my opinion , TP>mbp>>envy15

    that is one important reason why I return my envy 15

    What is the feeling of G73JH? thx

    Cheap, flismy, flexes around the middle. have a pretty bad lag, i can type faster then the words show up. This is with I7 Turbo enabled and plugged in.
    Games run smooth but keyboard lags. you be the judge. Use a external for gaming.

    I don't have issues with my keyboard at all. I use a newer apple thin keyboard on my desktop pc and it reminds me of it alot.. except the keys feel a bit more rubbery

    No lag, no problems, no missing key strokes. Took me like a day to get used to it and a week to master it.

    Somebody like Darkreaper obviously has a problem with his that is not normal and needs to get it fixed.

    A little stiffer than the MBP keyboard keywise, but the center of the keyboard does flex a bit, which gives it a slightly looser feel in the center of the keyboard.

    I've experienced absolutely none of your problems. And agreed you should get it fixed.

    Thinkpad keyboard has an interesting feel to them and quite different. Thinkpad keyboard overall better I think, but I'm enjoying the chiclet, I don't make as many mistakes as I do on a Thinkpad due to the spacing around each key. Hard to compare since this is a chiclet keyboard.

    Never used an Envy, never will. No idea what an MBP is.

    　I just want to know the resilience of the key....

    tp and mbp has a positive feedback where envy is too soft to use it.

    on mine, there is mild flex on the lower end of the keyboard from the x - m buttons and spacebar, but nothing to write home about. I have no issues with missed key strokes or nothing that has not been my fault for a bad hit or something. Does take a bit to get use to though as it is different than your run of the mill laptop keyboards....

    The official pictures of the keyboard (standard laptop keys) seem to differ from user pictures of the keyboard (apple-like keys). Why is that?
