    Hey all, noticed my Malibal 151 seems to be missing keystrokes. I type pretty quickly but I've never had a keyboard miss keystrokes like this one is, it's pretty annoying especially when I'm trying to type up a paper lol. Is there some driver I should be updating?

    For reference, I ordered mine with Windows 7 so it came fully functional. The only thing I've updated thus far are the nvidia and touchpad drivers.

    I don't think what I'm experiencing is ghosting. It's definitely seeming to miss keystrokes, not when I'm holding down shift buttons or anything. It just doesn't seem to always register what I type, made it a real pain when I was typing out a six page paper yesterday on it lol

    It could be possible that the keyboard ribbon is slightly loose? You could check by popping off the keyboard. Disassembly Guide (thanks to theriko)
