My daughter and I both have Porteges and both keyboards fell apart after a year...did yours?

No. The laptop works very well and no experience with the failure of the keyboard.

Most laptop keyboards suck in general. I would use a real USB mouse / keyboard splitter and use a real PS/2 keyboard and mouse if you are able to have the table space for one. Other than that I really like what this laptop is going for in size and performance. I wish it had 4 USB ports and also a VGA port for versatility.

Actually, we purchased refurbished Toshiba's and we have not had any problems with the keyboards. We have several and use them a lot.

no, but my wife is the owner, she uses it quite often and no keyboard problems. Maybe you used them too much or are hard typers? good to know anyway. You should consider replacing the keyboard, it shouldnt be pricy.

clamcase now has improved models so the cracking issue has been resolved, I think. I own two keyboards, one cracked some time mid last year, but the newer one I got towards the end of the year is fine.

My grandson was 2.5 when he got his and he had no problem with it after he was shown how it worked. Sadly the keyboard on his is defective. If I had to do it all over again, I would spend more money to get something that would last longer. He had the one I got him for only a couple of months before half the keys on the keyboard stopped working. Very frustrating for him.

I would recommend buying a higher quality keyboard. Half of the keys stopped working on mine after a few days of use

No I do not and I has been working fine, no problems at all. My daughter goes to piano classes and she plays it every day. I'm sorry for the late response!

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that post was still up.I sold the keyboard quite a while ago. However, there was no warranty so I guess it wouldn't have mattered either way :)Good luck!

My computer is HP warranted. However 6 months after purchasing it keyboard went out. Only some keys continued to function.I was leaving Alaska and haven't had a chance to deal with issue since arriving in Virginia. Just beware.

The Guts fell out - very odd - had on my keys for 6 months and loved it. Then one day I set it on the counter and when I picked it up the guts (the memory) were not in the metal case - luckily I found them on the counter. This has happened once since so I no longer keep it on my keys and the guts stayed in (and they are a little tricky to get back in). If this is your only copy of data than no - do not put it on your keys. If this is just a convenient backup and you can afford to loose the insides than it works great! The guts are small enough that it would be unlikely that someone would find and figure out what it is if you have sensitive data. I also have dropped in the water with no problems.

I was unable to make my case work, but I did take the keyboard out of the case and used it elsewhere. I am sorry that I can not help you out. If you can return it that is what I would do.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

Mine is still working. Every once in a while it takes off on it's own. The only reason I am still using it is the keyboard is eazy to see. It still works fair. It was worth what I paid for it.

My 1st set lasted almost (4) years before the keyboard keys started acting up & the mouse got erratic.

I'm so sorry- i dont. But i will see my granddaughter over the weekend and ask her to bring her kitty keyboard so i can look at hers. My thinking is that you got a defective one snd you should exchange it. As i recall, all the keys worked fine on ours, but i will doublecheck and get back to you.

So far, my iPad reattaches securely. I've only had the keyboard folio case for a little over a month now, so I can't comment on the keyboard case long-term.

Sorry, Can't help, I returned my keyboard. The arrangement was too bulky for me. I replaced it with a belkin slim keyboard that was more expensive, but quite a bit higher in quality.

I don't seem to have this problem. My keyboard works great and isn't squishy.
