    Hi,
    I received my NB305-106 netbook this week. I really like it, except for one thing that got me baffled: I cannot believe how bad the keyboard is! And I just do not get this, since all major reviews rave about the keyboard as being one of the best.

    But on my lappy, it just keeps on missing presses. I have to press a key hard and at almost 90 degree angle dead in the center, else it won't register. This is especially noticeable with keys at the edge of the keyboard like the 'a' and 'l'. And the space bar; if you don't press that dead in the middle: no space.

    Does anyone have the same experience? Will it get better after some use?

    I am about to return the thing, though I like every other aspect of it. I just cannot type on it (I could have written this piece faster on my iPhone! :eek: )
