    Hello everyone once again :)

    I was just wondering if anyone on here knew of a keyboard skin/protector that will for sure fix the keyboard in this laptop, paid alot of money for my machine and I like to keep things nice and clean to protect my investment :) so anyone who knows anything that would be a great help thanks everyone! Take care!

    **Edit**

    Even if the keyboard protector is not made specifically for this laptop as long as it is specifically for a laptop that has the same exact keyboard I don't see why that would be a problem...thanks guys

    People have looked for Clevo/Sager keyboard covers for a while but with no luck. Just not popular enough of a brand for the makers of the covers to produce them.

    well then @Hutsady@XoticPC sounds like something maybe XoticPc could have the resources to resolve and then obviously there would be a market and you guys would have it covered :).....I don't want to make a new thread if I don't have to put today I have been trying to enable v-sync for some games and I noticed it doesn't seem to be working and the only way I had been trying to apply it was in the actual games themselves so I decided well trying to enable v-sync for these certian games in the Nvidia Control Panel under "Manage 3d settings" well it has an error pop up saying....Access Denied: Failed to apply selected settings to your system.....okay odd so I go and instead of trying in the control panel to do it for each individual game I tried it as a "global setting" to enable v-sync nope same thing Access Denied: Failed to apply selected settings to your system....so you know I go to google and look and there are other people having this same problem thing is I can't find a solution....please help...I will create another thread if need be...thanks

    It's a bad idea since the designs draw air in through the keyboard, you will get higher temperatures if you cover the keyboard with a a layter.

    I don't feel movement of air at all, down through the keyboard....the fan's in the maptop are sucking air up through the bottom of the laptop and are blowing up pointing towards the keyboard pushing any air imo out of the keyboard so I dunno how air could be brought in with fans blowing up below it pushing air away from it

    It may be subtle but still there. Turn the fans on max and hold a lighter up close to it to see if the flame wicks inward.

    Both GPU fans are either open on the top or have holes in the pcb to do it. The fan does not draw from the top.
