- toast0 4y agoRivets come loose too; but they're a lot harder to retighten.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoWhen I spilled a drink on my Framework and ordered a new keyboard, I discovered it had 3 mis-aligned screws in the keyboard from the factory. Like either a hole was punched wrong or a screw was rammed in off center. The holes and threads are all messed up and impossible to tighen those screws. 3 out of 60 or more. Never knew there was anything wrong from the outside but I can't imagine wouldn't have worked loose over more time if I hadn't happened to have a reason to uncover them in the first year. I love that I was able to replace a keyboard, but 3 out of 60 is a pretty bad rate.
- djaychela 4y agoThe 2012 era ones are screwed in place (I didn't know this until this weekend when I took one apart to that level). I've never known one come loose, and a properly torqued screw will never be a problem in this situation.
