Improving the Eee PC keyboard's responsiveness

For users who have problems with the Eee PC keyboard's responsiveness, there is an ongoing thread over at the eeeuser forum on how to improve it.

Basically the steps, as posted by ilcarolader, are:

1- Remove your keyboard by pressing towards the screen the three thin metal staples that you can see right over the F1, F6 and F12 keys. You should be then able to remove the keyboard by picking it up from its upper side and letting it shifting towards the screen.

2 - Use a roll of masking tape (the kind of adhesive tape used in house painting) to cover the keyboard back side with 2 or 3 strips.

3 - Put the keyboard back in its place, making sure the three metal fastener will block it correctly.

Warning: covering the back side of your keyboard might interfere with the cooling of your Eee PC.
