    The left button is absolutely too rigid. I am certain of it. I know that many of this model has this problem, but still...it is below the industry standard.

    Fixes?

    For me at least the button did loosen over time. It is still sorta stiff but definitely less stiff than before, and I've had this computer less than a month.

    Yeah, the one you use the most will be loose after a while. Which is why my right click is as stiff as ever, 10 months later (on an a8jm)

    OK. So this is not a design defect? Everyone's is too stiff?

    Has anyone gotten Asus to fix the problem successfully? No one has self-fixed, eh?
