    One thing that drives me nuts about this keyboard is it continuously likes to double hit the keys. So whenever I'm writing a review, I keep having to go back and fix misspelled words. Of course, it decides not to this while I'm writing this ppost. Wait, there we go. Just did it.

    Anyway, it drives me crazy. I'm thinking of getting rid of this damn thhing (another one) just because the keyboard is driving me bat****. I changed the sensitivity in options, but I don't have thhis (another one) problem on my regular keyboard or my girlfriend's Mac. I'm actually thinking about ditchhing (one more!) this as my laptop, docking it at home and buying a smaller laptop with a better keyboard. If they were trying to copy the Mac keyboards, they failed miserably.

    my keyboard doesn't do that, except for the number pad sometimes, but i got used to using the number pad and it hardly does it anymore.

    Ya, but I shouldn't have to do that. Oh well. Guess I'll live with it, or learn how to type better!
