    pals,

    just wondering whther constant gaming on a laptop could lead to any damage on the keyboard..

    for eg, if u play games like need for speed we would be using the up arrow key throught out the game,... will this in course of time damage the key?

    Not likely, you'd have to beat it pretty hard to damge it.

    Nah, it should be fine. Just don't get angry after losing a game and then bashing on the keyboard. :rolleyes:

    I'd be smarter than do that to a laptop keyboard. Then again laptop keyboards suck for gaming anyway, since they don't have dedicated numpads (some do, but it's even worse), don't have enough space between the keys, and the keyboard starts beeping if you press more than three keys at once.
