    Is it just me or is a part of the keyboard on the x220 a little uplifted from the rest of the keyboard ?

    The part with the mute, volume control, thinkvantage and the power button.

    When I see the keyboard from an angle, it looks like that part of the keyboard is slightly protruding above.

    Or am I just being paraonoid that I bent the keyboard a little when I took it out to replace the bluetooth module..

    I see the same thing. It's also a bit looser there. (And the keyboard support has a hole right under it.)

    I think it has to do with the screw placement. For example, on my W520, with the screws out, the UltraNav buttons are equal height. But with the 2 screws in, the right button sits slightly lower than the left button because the screws are on the right side of the keyboard. It has been like this since day 0.
