As for the 14in keyboard, it is indeed an off-the-shelf component, and the vendor is perplexed because it has NOT been reported as an issue on x86 windows laptops.
I have both modules in my lab; same vendor, different modules ! The x86 module (with the windows key) works and does NOT have the key-press issue; the keys have a deeper travel, and the bubble domes are larger; no problems. (The vendor should not be perplexed, its obvious !)
The module found in the production 14" Pb on the other hand, has tiny bubble domes, less key travel, and therefore a tendency to miss keystrokes ( for corner hits ) because the bubble domes do not compress by the time the key corner bottoms. This is also very obvious-- nothing to be perplexed about. The vendor has reproduced the error in the lab, and they understand the problem.
The x86 notebooks do not have the problem because they have the windows keyboard module--- which does not suffer from the short key travel and tiny bubble domes.
