    Hi,

    My p150em backspace doesn't register that well. When I tap at the left part of the backspace key or the righter part it doesn't work. It only works if i press at the middle part. the spacebar and enter key works great though.

    So my question is do other p150em users have this issue too?
    And is there an easy fix for this?

    Also I would like to know if it's possible too swap the FN key with the windows key? I alreay tried several key remap tools like sharpkeys, keyTweak and MapKeyboard. But they all don't support the FN key.

    Thanks in advance..

    Hi, Ive had the same issue with TAB button and its still giving me headaches what I did was taping quickly and then firmly depressing button for a minute and repeating a couple of times and looks like it helped so far.

    My space key doesnt register when I press on the edge of they key. Its annoying because for years I have typed and always pressed on the edge of they key. Now I have to retrain my brain to move my thumb onto the middle of the key.

    Do you guys with the key registering problem all have the stock Sager keyboard because I will definitely get the SteelSeries keyboard if the stock one has problems. Anyways, good luck fixing your problem.

    Yes we have the stock one.

    Although the backspace key works much better now, it still doesn't register 25% of the times. So I may replace it with the SteelSeries one in the future too bad I like the look of this keyboard more...
