Hey everyone. I just got my G750J last week and I love the rig. From the moment I started using it I noticed the keyboard missing keystrokes. It's not a big deal if I'm typing slowly, but if I let 'er rip, I have to go back and correct multiple errors. I've ruled out sloppy form and this seems to be something internal. My last Asus laptop, a G72GX had a similar error, where it'd double type every 100 characters or so. Both issues are annoying and I'm wondering if this is an Asus error at-large. I've never run into other laptops or desktops with anything similar.
So, anyone having similar issues with the 750 series? And if so, how in the world do I fix it? I'd prefer not to use a USB keyboard to avoid the error. Thanks!
yogiwolfman, the consensus seems to be that it is the Elantech Touchpad driver interfering with the keyboard - disable the Touchpad in the BIOS, and the problem goes away.
I haven't seen any postings of the problem being solved with updated Elantech/Smart Gesture drivers.
You might also try plugging in a mouse and use the Smart Gesture setting to disable the Touchpad while the mouse is plugged it - that might be enough.
I have that set, but rarely use the keyboard, as over the years, and many keyboard replacements later, it is way cheaper to use a nice external keyboard wired/wireless than deal with the finger prints, food particles, failed keycaps, and occasional spills into the laptop keyboard 🙂
I use a Logitech K400r for travel, it fits in the laptop bag along with the G750JH... btw, what model G750 do you have?

For home I use a Razor keyboard/mouse. I helps make typing more consistent if I use the same keyboard on all my systems.
