    Anyone else ever had this issue? It will backspace but I gotta push really hard. Can I remove the key without taking the whole thing apart? TIA

    it is really easy to take the hkeyboard out, just follow the manual and it took me about 5 minutes to take it out and put it back.. pretty simple

    you know what? strangest thing. I never use the USB slot beneath the key except for yesterday. I put my usb drive back in the slot and it seems to have pushed the backspace key into proper position. Strange, but hey....as long as it functions....(there! i just used it, spelt "functions" wrong :) lol )
