    Hey Guys,

    I was wondering if there's some material out there which would be good to back a notebook keyboard? Like a rubber/vinyl adhesive? I have some crashiness with the left side of my keyboard I'd like to eliminate.

    People have been using that puffy double sided tape. Just be advised that you'll be voiding your warranty by opening it up.

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks. FWIW this is an Asus Z70V which has some user serviceable parts under the keyboard - in any case Eddie from Geared2Play gave me the go ahead to open her up.
