    Hi

    I purchased a NP9170 and received it in late June. I had initially used it exclusively for gaming but am now needing it more for emails and power points etc. I am starting to increasingly notice many missed keystrokes, especially with the n key. I basically cannot confidently type a sentence without a) mashing the keys when I type or b) backspacing and re-typing the sentence. Anyone else have these issues or know of a solution? Thanks.

    yop I also have a 150EM and I'm experiencing this issue. Not with certain keys but with the keyboard overall. I've been also using it for gaming recently and found kind of annoying when playing fast-paced shooters like battlefield where every inch of movement is important. It feels like when you press more keys at once the keyboard sometimes doesn't recognize it. Like when I'm moving form left to right, also moving forward, running, and jumping and lets say throwing a grenade. Sometimes I just stop moving forward or it just wont recognize the movement that I've made.
    Now that the semester is coming i started to type a lot more and I also miss a lot of key strokes and need to backspace-correct the sentence. I think that in a few weeks when I'll be writing a lot, I'll probably get a external keyboard..thats the only solution that I can think of.
