    Is it ok to tape the keyboard down in order to lessen the flex? Anyone tries this method before? Does it really change a lot? Thanks.

    People have taken that puffy double sided tape and placed it under the keyboard to bouy it up in the soft spots. I don't really know what you mean by taping it down.

    I got email from Ivan at P1. He said that " it just sticks the keyboard to the internal cage of the unit to minimize flex and people who do not want a lot of flex request us to do it,..." Thus, I'm not sure this is a good method or not.

    Well, he knows what he's doing, I'd be okay with that.
