    I bought the Clevo P150EM which came with the backlit standard keyboard and not the non-backlit chiclet one, then I replaced it with the MSI Steelseries keyboard which fit the Clevo P150.

    Now, here is the problem which I just hate with every chiclet keyboard, they degrade over time.
    I noticed the steelseries backlit light cable is damaged and has to be under pressure to work properly.
    There is an issue that is becoming quite annoying where the keys wont register properly, this happens sometimes, another issue is the SHIFT key, SOmetimes it REgisters TWo PResses even though I only pushed it once.

    All of these are killer features for me.
    Typing on my old Dell XPS M1210 and IBM ThinkPad T41p reminds me how amazing the classical keyboards feel like, does the Clevo P150 support such a keyboard?

    Does anyone know if there is a keyboard like this that fits the Clevo P150? Is the standard non-backlit chiclet keyboard better than the steelseries one? Does anyone have any experience with this, the standard backlit keyboard is terrible though, I refuse to go back to that one, I wish there was a way to change the keycaps without destroying the scissors, or is it actually possible?
