It's not really a defective part but just too much (or too less!) pressure applied to the screws. If you unscrew and screw them back, there's a high chance that the problem will go away. Why that would help? Because this keyboard/touchpad problem happens (at least that was the problem with the Sony) because of the pressure applied to the screws at the time of closing the notebook. If you are really unhappy with the notebook, you can do as I did with my original Sony Vaio Z (that had this exact same issue): open, unscrew the keyboard, screw it back, and close the notebook. In other words, guys, a fix for what will they release? For the touchpad? For the keyboard that repeats or the keyboard that doesn't even type (like those keys at the bottom). I sent it back (I'm in Argentina so it's a pain!) and I received this other one which -unhappily- has mostly the same problems than the first one but at least the tapping works 8 out of 10 and the keys at the bottom work now. The touchpad tap was working 1 out of 8 times. I got my first Acer S7 and the double type was TERRIBLE (every typed key was repeated) and the keys at the bottom (CTRL, Fn, Alt, arrows, etc) were not working most of the times. Look, I don't think Acer will release a software fix for hardware problems. Hey Clericuz and BlackApps! Thanks for your words about the fix, I coded it and even I am not happy having a notebook that has keyboard (and touchpad!) problems.
