    find it strange how sometimes, depending how my hand is orientated on the keyboard, my Studio 1537 would either press down CTRL even though i'm not on it and the mouse would click itself. i could be typing and then i would start typing where the mouse is located if it's in a location i could type in. not sure what this is all about. weak/soft chassis?

    anyone else experiencing this? :confused: :confused:

    Both of my thumbs usually hover over the spacebar as I type and the keyboard is quite shallow so its quite easy for one of them to just touch the mouse-pad by accident which registers as a click, I've done it a few times. Not seen the issue with the CTRL key though.
