Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the keyboard? I seem to have to hit my keys pretty firmly to get it to work??

I still have issues and I bought the laptop in June. The space bar is so tight I have to hit it extra hard or all my words run together...

I don't think so, I have to hit my keys the same way. I haven't found any way to fix them either.

Not sure, I have not tried that. One word of caution. The keyboard is very "soft", you need to hit the keys dead on or they do not respond all the time. It is annoying, but you learn to live with it.

You have to remap your keyboard. http://blogs.igalia.com/berto/2009/12/17/remapping-the-n900-arrow-keys/

I actually have the same problem, minus the cats. My sensitivity is at a 4. Best thing to do is try all sensitivity levels or wait til they update firmware.

Took a couple of hours to get use to it...made several typos cause the shift key and delete keys are a bit off place. Overall I like the keyboard! Hope this helps Kathleen?

My keyboard has been sticky from the beginning. Not all the keys- just a few. I would contact the seller and see if they will send you a new one.

You have to hit them pretty hard, unfortunately. You can however just boost the sensitivity in the program you're using it.

Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. SHARKK responded to my review to say that would fix it in the next release, but I'm not sure if they can do a firmware fix for existing models. I would definitely contact SHARKK support to ask how they intend to fix your problem: either a firmware fix or exchange your keyboard for one that works correctly. They seem to be genuinely concerned about providing good support.UPDATE JAN 22, 2014: I received the new version of the case yesterday from SHARKK. I charged the new KB before using it, then had it on for several hours today. I'm happy to report that it has not lost its connection yet. Much improved. Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt.

Yes! It's a difficult keyboard. I feel like I have to really bang away at times!

Not a single problem in my case, but i guess its all about the kind of keybord you use (im using a korsair vengance k70) hope it helps.

Are you referring to using a trackpad? This keyboard doesn't have one. Maybe you need to refer to another model that does have one.

UPDATE TO THIS ISSUE: I went to Acer's Store (it's on your desktop unless you've deleted it), clicked on Tech Support and then Email Support. If you complete the form there and write a brief message, the site will come up with suggestions on the erratic cursor. I forget how it was labeled but it shows in a different window just how to adjust the sensitiviity settings to eliminate the issue most of us are experiencing! Try it, I think you'll be happy with the results.

Mine doesn't have such high sensitivity, it might be caused whenever you bump the buttons onto some surface, those buttons are way more sensitive than the touch screen itself lol. Hope that helped!

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

We had the same issue. We purchsed the adapter. We never were able to get the keyboard to work. I thought that the keyboard was faulty, so I purchased another. Same problem.

My keyboard works. I initially had some difficulty until I figured out some minor steps that weren't noted in the directions. I'm not that tech savvy, so I'm not ssure if this helps. Sorry
