The key beteen Q and E and the key beteen A and D go dead a lot and may need 30 strokes or more to ork. this is just plain not usaeable.

Hi David, all keys function as designed. This is an Excellent laptop and an Excellent product. My first Dell laptop, now 11years old is still going strong, same core, Same windows 7, just looks a little beat up, that is why I purchased the New Dell. I'm a BSN RN working on my Masters so it has been abused, and has not failed me.

The keys are not weighted. Generally you have to spend quite a bit more to get weighted or semi-weighted keys.

You are right on the edge. With a heavy key ring with high iron content you may be able to. I have 7 keys now and it holds fine

The key is definitely hard to press. I can garentee you the other people here either are lying or just not sensitive enough. There's a review by Reuben Chng on youtube. And he states the same.

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

I was aw to use these on my expedition but I still had to have a key made and coded to the transponder. The keys that come with the set are not transponder keys. i had to still have a transponder key cut and recode the computer. Would have been cheaper to have the locksmith make a key from the ignition

I noticed that the key must be in the right positon for that to be possible. I had a problem at first then realized the key was not properly positioned. Hope that helps.

I agree that if the keys or the mounting system for the keys get damaged, this might make for a difficult repair - the primary defense against this is to be careful and not let these things become damaged - put the thing back in it's case when it is not being played... Sorry if this does not help much...

Sorry, I can't help you there as the thing died before I even got that far with it. If you're still on the fence about buying one, DONT! This is the 2nd one I've owned and it's worse than the first.

The keys are hard. In fact, they're very much like the keys on the old Voyager series (11c, 15c, etc.) except not quite as big. They have that nice roll-click feeling. If you've used the old HP calculators, then you'd know what I mean.

The only reason it would get "stuck" would be because you lost (can't find your key). They send two keys (by the way). That's the idea - it's "stuck" until you (the owner) unlocks it.

I have no idea. I can tell you that I have already replaced this keyboard with one that is supposed to be more durable. I ran into a problem with the "E" key not registering each stroke.

I'm not a pro typist or gamer that spends countless hours banging the keys and I haven't had the keyboard for that long so I don't think I'm qualified to answer that question with authority. That said, the keys so far look perfect and even if they fade or something in the future, they are all replaceable and I would just get new ones. Hope this helps!

We could not open the 1st one either. We called, they replaced. Then we could not open next, and so on. The 4th one atleast you could get key to turn. We gave up as we worried if we had so many with problems that maybe if locked, we could not re-open. They have big problem and should not b selling until they get fixed. We wrote evaluation to help stop people from going through what we did. Send it back.

Probably. BUT with this new key, you have to reprogram all of your existing keys as well.There are several steps FOR EACH KEY - a real pain.

lol, your better off than me. I lost my key. But it seems to me I had the same problem, and it turned out to be I just had the have the open and close handle in a certain position for the key to work. Play with that sequence and hope it helps.

I agree with Lorne Robinson's review. You probably have to be very careful when you put it in the box and it may fall out when you open the box. I think the intent was to house a single key in an emergency but maybe with some feed back to the manufacturer they will find a way to accommodate te new smarter keys. Still a nice unit, have several at our church for contractors to have key fob entry when needed.
