Yes, for me too, with regular clipped fingernails.

These are my two gripes so far:

5-way too close to Menu and Back keys.

Too tiny lettering on the keys. I find that in marginal lighting when I'm still able to read a book in a small font, I have trouble making out the keyboard lettering. Maybe a design compromise to avoid reflections?
