Hi
I have a new Acer Nitro 5 (i5-10300H, GTX 1650, 17" screen model), had it for about a month now. What I've been wondering about the most is the keyboard. Specifically, and put short: I'm not sure whether it's SUPPOSED to be like that, whether it's partly in my head or what, but with this particular keyboard I seem to get a lot more missed strokes, weird typos etc., in general the keyboard feels weird. Most prominently I've noticed that I really need to lift my fingers completely off the keys and tap them relatively hard compared to what I'm used to. With my other laptop, an older, cheaper Asus model, I've never noticed any problems at all and it for example DOES reliably register keystrokes from just gently pushing down the keys (not lifting and _tapping_). I haven't really noticed this type of problem with any other keyboard either, old style desktop keyboards like the one I'm on now require more force but that's to be expected for something that has so much more travel. They feel fine though, I can anticipate the travel and type just fine. But this new Acer laptop... it "misfires" a lot.
Can anyone provide any insight? Experience with the same or similar Acer model? Again, I'm wondering many things... is it supposed to be like that, is it broken, is it even a driver/firmware issue possibly? One thing I can tell from the surface is that the top cover flexes slightly. I also thought it could be purely mechanic, something like the screws are loose on the inside side.
This has been bothering me since I could've already added an extra stick of RAM I have but I haven't wanted to open it myself in case I in fact have to return the whole machine because of the keyboard. (They might complain about warranty etc. stuff if I touch it)
Thoughts?
