    Ok guys, I have had the keyboard with me for a while but needed a day to film the guide like I said I would. Got it done right after work with no sleep :cool:

    Replacement was smooth other than one screw that just was spinning in place, the new keyboard actually feels different than the old one as far as how the keys press and my typing problems appear to be completely gone now.

    Sorry to bring up an old post, but this is relavent to my interests - I just bought a MSI GX60 - which comes with the steelseries non-backlit keyboard, but it has the headers and controller for the backlit one. I am full of want, did you guys figure out where to order one from?

    Ask me on PW. I have new revision keyboards without keystroke issue. BTW when you disassembly sensorboard panel don`t do like on the moovie. Remove hinge capse and do it from the rear side . Method like on the moovie can give scraches on sensor board panel and keyboard. Also don`t put keyboard like on the moovie. You need to slide in it because thera are 2 hooks in upper case at both sides. Otherwise the keyboard will be not correctly assembled.
