Pinebook 14" keyboard misses keypresses UPDATE
#5
I have determined that it is NOT practical to try to replace the keyboard module on the 14" pinebook, without also replacing the bottom case top bezel.

The keyboard module on the production units is also plastic riveted to the top bezel, and the module is also covered with a metal shield which is also plastic riveted to the top bezel. Removing the keyboard module from the bottom case top bezel (for most people) would cause so much damage that the case would probably not go back together smoothly and even so the keyboard might be so warped that it would not work anyway.

In my opinion the bottom case top bezel (with new keyboard module insert) should be made available as an option. The bottom case top bezel can be replaced easily , transferring the "guts" from the old bottom case along with the bottom case bottom bezel. 

I do not plan to try to replace the module in my 14" until such time as the entire top bezel is made available with the good keyboard module.
