    I've seen some videos on Youtube and heard from some reviews that the Toshiba Qosmio has a keyboard flex problem like when you press one of the keys, the keys next to it go down with it a bit like they are not packed well?

    Anyone experienced it with their Qosmio? Is it a problem?

    Which model?

    The X300/305 definitely has that issue.

    I have not seen single laptop which will not flex if you apply enough force.
    Problem is, every person has own definition of "sensible" force.
