    Does your z70va keyboard flex? I notice that the keys on the far right would flex the keyboard when u apply a little pressure on it, even when the keys aren't compressed. :(

    Yeup, there is a little flex, but nothing to worry about, unless it's so bad that the keyboard is sinking into the base.

    That's abnormal, I have to press fairly hard to get the keyboard to flex. It definitely shouldn't flex without the keys being compressed. Check that the keyboard is installed properly.

    Yep I owned an old HP as well as another one where the keyboard flexed do much, it did sink into the base which pissed me off a lot and they could not do anything about it.

    On my Z81sp, my keyboard does not have a flex to it at all when I am typing on it and in order to make it flex, I would have to apply quite amount for force to make it flex (which I don't want to do :cool: )
