Pinebook 14" keyboard misses keypresses UPDATE
#14
   

The replacement keyboard modules present a possible danger to the LCD panel,  because of the larger key-travel;  the keys stand up higher and might therefore bump into the LCD panel when the lid is closed;  although, the LCD panel face is recessed into the top bezel and mostly protected.

Possible damage to the LCD panel face can be mitigated by using self-adhesive silicone bumper pads;  the ones shown in the pic above are 10mm across and 2mm in thickness.  The bumper pads are transparent, and hold the case open just enough that the clearance between the keyboard key-tops and the LCD panel face is more than sufficient.

   

Pictured above are the installed silicone pads standing in the gap!  This gap serves two purposes:  1) protecting the LCD panel face, and 2) facilitating opening the Pinebook!   Some of you may have noticed that opening the Pinebook is difficult due to the thin front lip;  the silicone bumper pads mitigate this annoyance as well.

   

In the pic above the silicone pads are shown with the unit open;  the clear bumpers are virtually invisible (mostly attractive) and out of the way;  the pads come in a variety of sizes, and colors;  I found them in black, and also in felt!
