    I just picked up a new g6t at Best Buy for my grandparents. Works great, except for one problem: the keyboard. Now, for my grandparents this likely won't be a problem because they aren't (going to be) fast typers. However, I type at 100 WPM and whenever I type two of the same letters rapidly, it doesn't pick up the second one. So when I type "Google" I get "Gogle," "letters" makes "leters," etc. Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Return it and buy something else is the best suggestion at this point in time as missing a key press simply isn't normal at all.

    No, it only happens when I'm typing very fast - at speeds higher than 80 WPM or so. And it definitely won't be a problem for the primary users of my computer - my grandparents - because I don't imagine either of them will ever type faster than 30 WPM. It's a great computer, and if there's no solution I can live with it.
