    This is a quote from someone else in a different forum..

    "Be very wary of the Sony SZ. The keyboard is horrendous. It's like a 'sea of keys'. A signifigant amount of flex, and difficult to type very accurately."

    Is this true? I'd like to hear what SZ owners think of this guys comments?

    I got used to it. Now I like it :). The keyboard has just not usual feeling.

    I find the keyboard to be extremely easy to type on. I don't know if my 160 is different/better, but I see no flexing, and find the keys to be perfectly placed. No problem here.

    Well, it was different from all the other keyboards other laptops had in Bestbuy and I didn't like it, but I suppose I could get used to it but I still don't like the keyboard overall. :(

    I'm fine with the keyboard. I like the computer so much that I don't even pay attention to the flex anymore....

    The keyboard feels different from the other ones, but i'm sure you'll get used to it... it's not as bad as it seems

    No flex here, no keyboard problems.
