MSI GT72 keyboard flexing

Hi guys,
I've got MSI GT72 with GTX880 and noticed that keyboard flexes when pressing E, R, D, F, X, C and V keys. I.e. when I press D all other mentioned keys move slightly as well. I don't even have to press, just touch one of these keys. It doesn't feel when you don't look, but when I see this it bugs me:)
It looks like there is some empty space under that area of keys. Anybody had this problem?

Hhhmmmm im having a similar problem. My most common key (w,s,d,a)flex a little too and squeek a bit when moved around.
Would anyone know where i can get replacement keys?

Considerably improved over the GT70, purchased from Ken at GenTech PC, I am one of the first official GT72 owners on the planet.
So, what improvements does the GT72 bring to the table?
1. Improved chassis design.
2. Larger touchpad, smooth and seamless with the palm rest.
3. A large, cool to the touch, glass-like polymer palm rest.
4. More USB 3.0 ports.
5. A 230W PA.
6. A 1080p webcam
7. Revised Steelseries keyboard, flex-free, with brighter back-lighting.
8. Dual fan cooling solution, with improved chassis vent design, a better fan control profile, ergo.....
9. Better overall temps, with quieter operation.
10. Re-designed chassis, and finally a new model designation.
11. Gone is the problematic capacitance touch bar, replaced with positive touch switches.
12. Gone is finicky Optimus switching, replaced with a simple dedicated GPU switch.
13. mSATA SuperRAID 2, is replaced with M.2 SuperRAID 3, increasing speed, and the capacity of the RAID set. ( M.2 should improve significantly with the Intel 9-Series chipset)
14. Killer Doubleshot Pro, wherein Ethernet and Wireless can be used independently, or simultaneously for improved bandwidth.
15. And finally, due to the overall re-design, a more intuitive gaming experience.

ENJOY!
:D :D :D

Initial thoughts......
Well, here it is..... the MSI GT72-2PE Dominator Pro-007US, and the photos below do not do it justice. It's Bold, it's Bad, it's Fast, it's Powerful, and honestly, there is not much, not to like about this notebook. If there is one thing I feel could have been better, it would be the display. The Chi Mei CMN1735 has good brightness, color, and contrast, but lacks decent viewing angles.
Anyhow, I have already spent a lot of time with tweaking, photos, benchmarks, etc., so I am going to cut-to-the-chase, and try to make this as short as possible.
As to performance, the benchmarks below attest to the GT72's awesomeness, so what about noise, and the redesigned dual-fan cooling solution? Simply put, it is quieter than the GT70, has a better fan profile, and temps are well managed. Given the hardware, of course you will hear the fans spin up when the system is stressed, but it is not at all disturbing..... and when doing common task, the fans are only noticed if you get close and cozy with the system. Ambient room temperature was 78F, and the system's idle temps were CPU@38C, and GPU@36C. Without the use of Cooler Booster ('stock' fan profile only), during benchmarks the CPU reached 78C, and the GPU averaged 80C, peaking to 82C during the 3DMark Sky Diver benchmark. The palm rest remains cool to the touch, it's polymer is smooth as glass, and it's surface is seamless across the touchpad. Only a mild warmth rises from the keyboard.
The Steelseries keyboard is indeed flex-free, keys are very positive and responsive, and the back-lighting is brighter..... which I attribute to the keyboard's re-design. Looks awesome!
So what about SuperRAID 3, is it fast? Oh YEAH! Performance exceeds SuperRAID 2, as expected, and the system boots to desktop in as little as 6 to 7 seconds. HD Tune Pro reports an average read time for the Toshiba M.2 SSD's, as 1535MB/s..... while the previous SuperRAID 2 Sandisk X100 mSATA SSD's was an average of 1411MB/s. On the other hand, SuperRAID 3 really shines in the Crystal Disk Mark scores. To best evaluate the 'Real-World' performance of SuperRAID 3, I used the PCMark 8 Storage Test. For those unfamiliar with this benchmark, the performance score of 5014 is very respectible. The duration of this grueling benchmark is generally 1 to 3 hours, and the GT72 sped through in just 1 hour and 8 minutes. All in all, I applaud MSI's use of the new M.2 SSD's, but I think performance will most improve with future 9-Series Intel chipsets.
With all the attributes I've mentioned above, it is when gaming, that you understand the mastery of it's intuitive design. The re-designed flex-free keyboard, the large smooth & heat-free palm rest, the spatial Dynaudio speakers, and vivid display, all lend to an immersive gaming experience. So much so, I found myself playing my test game, far longer than originally intended.
To run the GT72 through it's paces, I chose the recently released, AMD optimized title, Sniper Elite III, by Rebellion. With settings max'ed to 'Ultra', the GTX-880M smoothly sliced through the frames like a hot knife to butter, with frame-rates from 54 to 82Fps, averaging at 65Fps. Game play was extremely smooth and fluid, and never a hic-cup or artifact.
To represent the 'Out-of-the-Box' experience, I played with the stock fan profile, and Cooler Booster was never used. Like with my benchmark testing, the fan noise was not disturbing, and game audio though the Dynaudio speakers easily comes to the forefront. Fan noise was never a distraction. Temps of the GPU peaked to 82C, but averaged 64C, and the CPU peaked at 68C, averaging 54C. Again, with hardware like this, and without the use of Cooler Booster, these temps are outstanding.... and the new dual fan design is a success!
Initially I intended my game session to be an hour..... in no time it became 3+ hours, and playing on this notebook is simply FUN!
The look and feel is very stylish, and smooth finish is actually somewhat fingerprint resistant. Overall, with these great looks, it's fully loaded system specs, and stellar performance scores, the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro not only entitles bragging rights..... it DEMANDS them!
All of this has me VERY excited for the upcoming next-gen 9-Series, Maxwell, X-treme Edition GT72! Can't wait!
Enjoy!

↑ This “potable” power machines comes with a Delta Electronics 230W power brick. For your information the others MSI gaming laptop power supply physically doesn’t fit on GT72, as it require a little more power supply than usual to give it a full strength.
↑ Besides the GT72, there’re some goodies/freebie/useful stuff tag along:
- A Keyboard cover protection

- A SteelSeries Siberia V2 Gaming headset MSI Limited Edition
- A soft mousemat.
↑ There are MSI logos printed on the packaging
↑ As you can see there's none extra button to click like all the typical gaming mice out there on the SteelSeires Kinzu V2 Gaming Mice. Basically it's a very clean and basic gaming mice.
↑ Unfortunately it isn't the gold plated USB, but free gift, you know. It'll take it still!
↑ And not to forget it fit MAC as well.
↑ A sexy dragon printed on it, just love how they design the mouse mat!
↑ It’s easier to carry around, by putting it between the keyboard and the screen. Don’t worry, the thickness will definitely not an issue.
↑ A list of the drivers, instruction book, a set of collectable MSI dog tags and so-on.
↑ The Siberia V2 from SteelSeries
↑ The difference between Siberia MSI Limited Edition and a normal Siberia you seen in the market are the MSI Limited Edition comes with a nice and bright red surface done, and many cool logos on it.
Let’s talk about performance and benchmark:
A bunch of performance test on CPU-Z:
↑ From CPU-Z we can tell that GT72 Dominator Pro using a Intek Core i7-4710HQ 2.50GHz with four cores.
↑ GT72 using their own motherboard, which from MSI.
↑ The only different between a MYR9,999 and a MYR11,999 GT72 Dominator Pro is the capacity of the RAM: 16GB and 32GB.
↑ It getting 604 in CPUmark.
↑ GT72 equips with Super RAID 3 512GB SSD, which provide a 5 seconds start up time(From button to desktop). Average getting a 1,586 MB/s READING speed, and 1,325 MB/s WRITING speed on ATTO Disk Bench Mark.
↑ And the HDD getting an average 133 MB/s READING speed and an average 131 MB/s WRITING speed.
↑ Tested it with another software, and got a result of 1422 MB/s READING speed and 1081 MB/s WRITING speed on SSD, isn't that much differences from the test above.
↑ A 125 MB/s READING speed and 105 MB/s WRITING speed on HDD.
↑ Take a look on GTX980MB
Benchmark by using 3DMark Professional Edition:
3D Mark 11 Advanced Edition:
↑ On ENTRY level
↑ On PERFORMANCE level
↑ On XTREAME level
Besides on gaming performance, it's very important to make sure it support casual works as well.
↑ On PCmark 8 HOME for some common home computing test: 4653
↑ On PCmark 8 CREATIVE for experts and proffesionals: 5445
↑ On PCmark 8 WORK for some simple office productivity test: 4401
↑ On PCmark 8 STORAGE to test SSD & HDD: 5017, and getting a average 330 MB/s Storage bandwidth.
At last, we'll be doing CPU heat test:
↑ Before we run the test, the cores temperature is around 40 degrees, and 33 degrees on hard disk.
↑ After we had run for a 30 minutes maxed performance test, with full fans on, we're getting 75 - 80 degrees on CPU cores and unbelievable still 33 degrees on hard disk.
To be honest, after tried on GT72 Dominator PRO, I just can't live without it anymore.
The BattleField 4 running smoothly with photoshop on background, I can finally play some video games while taking a break on my photo editing and graphic design works, in the coffee shop of course.
Although it looks pretty heavy, but it's actually much portable than I thought, in facts it's phenomenal thin for such a powerful performance beast.
Carry around with the backpack it provided isn't a difficult task at all.
Besides, one last thing to show:
↑ Sexiest design that let the heats never became an issue anymore.

yeah.... with so much different angle and good quality, they are truly good photo shooting pieces!

if your getting desktop display on tv then this sounds like more as an display cable is glitched out of port causing it to show white display so do this angle display forward and backwards a bit and see if display flickers from white to normal then back to white if that appears then the display cable isnt connect propertly which MSI Service can quickly fix

Re: GT683 Keyboard Flex Issue ( vibration noise)

I have a MSI GT683 and when I listen to music my keyboard makes a noise. I think it is from the bass ( the keys are vibrating ).
Does anyone have this problem?
Edited title

Quote from: ATOMANT on 19-July-11, 02:07:08
I just bought a GX680 and most of the keys on the LH side of the keyboard are very noisy. When typing there is an audible clang whenever you press any of those keys. I am being denied any RMA or warranty from NCIX.com because they claim its "not a known issue".
Atomant: That's the same experience I'm having. The clang is caused by the keyboard flexing. This causes friction on the board. It's a very annoying sound, made even worse by the fact it's only some keys.
I use a Dvorak keyboard layout, and the AOEUI keys are all on the home row left side, so they are the most commonly typed keys.
If I discover a method to quiet the keyboard, I'll post it here.

MSI GT72 2QE screen and ram

Hello,
I bought a MSI GT72 2QE-476NL. Some sites say its a IPS screen and some say its a TN..
Is there a way to check what screen i have?
Also i want to add a extra 8GB ram, but i cant find what type i have now, the 1 slot that is in use is not visible from the back..

the RAM is DDR3L 1.35v or less
other than that is just DDR3L the L means low voltage
the screens in almost every 17in MSI are TN based you do see some IPS at 15 and smaller
but not as much as other mfgs
i need to know how much ram you have then i can tell you how much you can add
the GT72 2QD base has 4 sodimm DDR3L slots ratted for 1600mhz
the 12GB models have 4GB+8GB in the slots under the keyboard leaving both bottom slots open
the 16GB models have 8GB+8GB under the keyboard still leaving the slots under the keyboard open
the 24GB models have 4GB+8GB under the keyboard and 4GB+8GB in the bottom meaning all slots full
the 32GB models are full 8GB X 4 and this is max ram supported
as far as i know they are all running at 1600mhz effective DDR3 my 12GB model 2QD 406 has 9-9-9-20 timings at 1600mhz 1.35v without your full model number or the first 8 char and number from the Serial number i can't say much more

Which part of the machine is related to the keyboard flex problem ?

Mine is T420s
And I got a keyboard flex problem.
Actually which part is related to this problem ?
Isn't it inclusive to fix this problem in the warranty ?
thx

Mine doesn't exhibit any keyboard flex and I don't think it's a common issue with T420s; anyway:

Hey guys,
searching for an MSI GT72 2QE unlocked BIOS with all possible voltages, like in XTU (see: )
Offset voltage, processor cache voltage, digital IO voltage
Oh and Graphics voltage for the integrated HD 4600 is very important for me (also integrated in XTU)
For the GTX 980M a vbios, but its not mandatory because of prema mod

W530 keyboard flex

Hello,
Previously I have posted a question concerning replacing the keyboard on the W530, even though this has nothing to do with the issue I am experiencing now. I am aware of the fact that I am not the only one that is experiencing keyboard flex in the left section of the keyboard. But when I press with a tad of force, I actually hear how the back of the keyboard hits the fan (which concerns me badly.)
Upon ordering, the only change I made in hardware on the official lenovo website was choosing the option to put in a backlit keyboard (which resulted in longer shipping, etc etc). I am wondering if this flex and fan hitting thing are normal things, and perhaps caused by the thinkpad being opened up and having the keyboard replaced with another one?
Thanks in advance!

When does it turn off?
I pressed Fn+Space to turn it on now (in the low intensity mode).
After that I left the W530 on the sofa while watching TV.
Now, 15 minutes later, the backlit keyboard is still lit...
1h later I see that it is black, and so is the screen. So I think the keyboard backlight turn off when the enery saving scheme takes effect.
After it has been turned off, a new Fn+Space is needed to turn it on again.

The MSI item you bought came as it was sold. If you didn't like the original french keyboard layout and now you have a problem with the seller of an aftermarket keyboard or separately sold replacement part contact that seller or the person who installed it. There is nothing this forum or MSI can do about it. It is no problem with an MSI retail item.
For complaints or warranty claims contact MSI as this is a Users-to-Users Forum: >>How to contact MSI.<<
Still this is no MSI issue so most likely rma would be refused but you'll see about that.

T420s keyboard flex

Hey,
Sorry about questions about my newly arrived T420si but I have another quick question: There is some minor keyboard flex at the upper right corner around backspace and especially delete keys. Is this normal? I know all crappy laptops have keyboard flex, some too horrific degrees and this minor does not bother me at all, but I am worried that this is a sign of a bigger thing. Anything ideas??

Hello elalemever
The flex could be minor however, I would suggest you to get it check once. It may require the keyboard replacement.

U510 Keyboard Flex

I just have to say that the keyboard flex on the u510 is terrible....why would such a low quality keyboard be allowed to ship? I tested it the other day and hated it...

Hi Bebbed,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with the keyboard backlight not working in your Lenovo U510 laptop.
As you have mentioned that the keyboard backlight was when function key and spacebar key is pressed, as there might be issue with the power management, please reinstall the chipset driver and power management software.
Click here for the power management software.
Upgrade the chipset driver as this model has the inbox driver for windows 8.1.
If still the issue persist then there is a issue with the keypad which needs to be replaced, please visit the nearest service centre for further details.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.
Best regards,
Ashwin.S

GT683 Keyboard Flex Issue

I purchased a GT683 on 7/16 and had to exchange it the same day. The keyboard would flex to a large degree pressing any key left of F or on the number pad. The flex was so great that keys would get stuck.
The replacement is much better, but the number 1 key (not on the keypad) has the same plus keys X and C and D to some extent. The keyboard flexes when typing, so far the keys haven't gotten stuck, but you can hear the keyboard flex, and sometimes the 1 key doesn't register.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I purchased the laptop with the anticipation of doing a large amount of typing. I spent a considerable amount of time typing on the display laptop and it did not have this issue. One of the key points was I really liked the keyboard feel on the display model.

I just bought a GX680 and most of the keys on the LH side of the keyboard are very noisy. When typing there is an audible clang whenever you press any of those keys. I am being denied any RMA or warranty from NCIX.com because they claim its "not a known issue".
Atomant: That's the same experience I'm having. The clang is caused by the keyboard flexing. This causes friction on the board. It's a very annoying sound, made even worse by the fact it's only some keys.
I use a Dvorak keyboard layout, and the AOEUI keys are all on the home row left side, so they are the most commonly typed keys.
If I discover a method to quiet the keyboard, I'll post it here.

Mod EC FW for msi gt72 2QD

Hello svet,
Can you make me a mod EC FW for my MSI GT72 2QD to disable CPU throttling ?
Thank you in advance

OK thank you

Dear Lenovo, keyboard flex ...

I noticed with the T500 I purchased there existed some keyboard flex. I got sort of used to it. One of the keys broke (my own doing). I replaced the keyboard from my old T60 (FRU No: 42T3209). Wow! What a huge difference. The old design is superior in every way. It does weigh a little more but the difference in feel and ruggedness make it a much better choice. I am going to order a second 42T3209 keyboard for the T60. If anyone gets annoyed with the keyboard flex, I suggest searching (ebay, parts surplus) for the 42T3209 keyboard. To Lenovo: Please consider the old keyboard design in future models. Thank you.

There is a definite trade-off between the two types of keyboards. The more flexible keyboard is significantly lighter and more spill resistant (assumption). It also may provide a better ventilation due to the holes. The more rigid keyboard is heavier, more solid feeling (no flex), and may be less spill resistant (assumption). It may be a good idea for Lenovo to offer an option when ordering a laptop whereas customer can choose the type of keyboard, listing the benefits of each type.
