I've found that if I flex the left and right edges of the keyboard down while pushing the middle up, it starts typing again. If the keyboard backlight had shut off, it comes back on, and if it was lagging (or repeating text), then it starts typing what it missed (or stops repeating). I'm hesitant to exchange the TP because exchanges don't seem to be fixing the issue. But then again, I don't want to keep flexing my hardware keyboard to have it snap in half on me one day when I'm really pissed!
I'm curious.. how many of you are using cases? I'm using the Sedio case and I think the issue may be related to the case (since the case seems to make the slide out less smooth, I'm assuming the top and bottom parts are touching each other, possibly even pushing the top and bottom of the TP out from each other, causing the keyboard issues).
Ok nevermind the issue seems to appear even without the case.

wow wow wow *ucking wow. as i read this post, i decided to give this a shot and whatyaknow, the keyboard works again. WTF HTC. you have been sent thanks btw.
EDIT: i have some additional info that may help, well, because it helped me. On the "flaky" strip, there are 4 contact points where, when the keyboard is attached and closed, touches metal to metal. A possible explanation for the keyboard beginning to work again when flexed is that the contacts point are actually being pushed to contact. I applied two layers of electrical tape behind each contact point to make the strip a bit thicker. The attached pictures should explain what i'm talking about if there's any confusion.
