[SOLVED] Framework13 Keyboard has intermittent keys

I’m also having issues with keyboard keys intermittently not working, those I notice myself are -, 0 and p (qwerty keyboard, so all in the same upper-mid-right region). I will try to exhaustively detect other keys affected.

Here would be my summary of user feedback in this thread — and in the many other similar threads on the forum (see topics linked to the current one) or elsewhere (reddit) :

  1. Many people tried cleaning the keyboard or reseating the cables, but no one reports that it solved their problem.
  2. Some people ordered a new input cover and it solved their problem, at least for a while.
  3. Some people are just bending the frame (or blowing into their keyboards while making a wish) and it is reported to work reliably.
  4. There has been no official acknowledgment of a systemic issue with the keyboard. (No judgment here, as I don’t have experience on what volume of user reports hints at a notable issue.)

I will try to bend the frame (3) and see if it reliably makes the problem go away temporarily – it’s an easier first step than changing the input cover (2).
