    Has anyone attempted to shimmy the MSI-1651 keyboard, and if so, what material did you use and how successful was it?

    The right ctrl key and arrow key area of my keyboard makes a loud clicking noise when pressed and indents down, but can be popped back out if the bottom of the notebook is pressed up.

    That is a very odd problem. Did you spill something on your keyboard?

    They keyboard in general (this seems to have occurred on several people's MSI-1651) has some spacing between it and the material below it, causing it to sink when pressed ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_UGFXhvOM). I seem to remember someone saying they were going to shimmy it, but not sure how that went.
