    I think it has to do with my hours on hours of Team Fortress 2 playing. But my space bar is squeaking ever so slightly that its ANNOYING. and I hear it as I type every single freakin word. Any idea how i could fix this? Blowing into it doesn't seem to help >.>

    Well they would just send you a new one next day mail, you remove the old and put on the new and send back in their box the old keyboard. You dont have to lose your laptop for weeks.

    My e1705 had the exact same problem from hours of FPS games. The squeaking went away on its own after awhile, I wouldn't worry about it.
