Nope, nothing yet. Maybe your hand is sitting on the touchpad, the touchpad is rather large. Turn palm check up, if you havn't already.

I think there's something wrong with the logic circuit used for the PS2 controller on the motherboard. It obviously doesn't run in parallel for some reason (taking key press and mouse moments at the same time).

When did you buy ur G73SW. I thought G73SW has flaw in its CPU i7 2630QM. Thats why i canceled my order of G73SW and wait until the problem is fixed.

Welcome to your defective 2000 dollar unit. You can see the 90 page Beta Bios "Keyboard Fix" thread for more frustration and unanswered questions 
Sorry to hear that you're one of the unlucky few. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do unless you demand a replacement laptop via RMA, which I doubt they would do. If you're under store warranty, RUN and return it and see if the next one is any better. Test at the store.

So the problem exists on some units, but not all?
Reply 6 : g73sw missing keystrokes
only a small % of units... it's a devious issue but apparently fixable with a BIOS update

Really sad to see this on the brand new g73sw units. This has been an ongoing issue with all g73s for the past few generations.
Every time people say, a bios update fixes it, or reinstalling the touchpad drivers, or removing the touchpad drivers and going with microsofts drivers, or disabling the trackpad in bios or using an external keyboard.
The bottom line is that the last two (disable the trackpad or use an external keyboard) are the only ones that have worked 100% of the time.
I was hoping with the new motherboard required for sandybridge they would fix it but apparently not.
In my experience its fairly common, ive only found ONE machine at a store that didnt have the problem and 4-5 that it was quite easy to duplicate on.
Guess I'm going with the msi unit afterall, what a shame.

Wow that is just sad...Reply 9 : g73sw missing keystrokes
I'm not getting any missed keystrokes on my SW, ofc, I wonder if it only affects people with higher than 70wpm as I prob avg around 60.
