    Hi Guys

    Iv got a rock xtreme 780 notebook which uses the Clevo M571TU chassis. Since iv owned it I have been frustrated by the poor keyboard flex to the right of the keyboard between about J and enter key.
    Thankfully the gaming keys are fine. It has been back to Rock once but they did not sort it.
    Is there a possible fix or is it just a design flaw.

    Thanks

    hi there i had the same issue as u had,all i did was pop open the 5 clamps on the keyboard using a small flat screw driver.Then,i placed two elastic bands underneath,u have to play with the spacing to get it right then slide back the keyboard and no flex.I know its a bit getto but works for me.
