    When I first got my Sager NP9150 I was happy it had a backlit keyboard. I didn't care for all colors, just that it had it. Well, I didn't have many issues until lately. It seems it now misses a lot of key presses where it never did before. Using the P157SM has reinforced that fact since it doesn't miss any key presses so far. If I didn't edit this post as I go along it would miss spaces and lots of letters. Not due to my typing but due to the keyboard. It's quite annoying.

    Anyone else notice this?

    Nevermind I think I found the culprit. I exited that keyboard color changing program that changes color with CPU and GPU temperature and I seem to miss keystrokes. I just turned it off and everything seems to work great now.

    its a strange one as it does it for me as well but no set patern to it.
    it could be fine for days and even weeks and then no matter how i type or press the keys i will have to rectify at least 10 missed keys or spaces in a post this long.
    im doing nothing different with no driver updates or different programs open so its a bit of a mystery.
