wireless keyboards that do not answer or type incorrect characters

Hello, I contacted Dell a couple of times and everything they have done has tried to update my drivers that did not work, or they had me use a wired keyboard that still had the problem.

When typing my keyboard makes a break, don't type, types the same character repeatedly, takes up to 30 seconds between the characters to be able to type a different and at other times, there is zero problem.  This can happen several times a day.  It happens with IE, Firefox, type in word, try to access a Web site.  Its very frustrating.

I use Windows 7 with a wireless keyboard.  If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it!

  • Microsoft wireless keyboard 2000 does not

    Hi, I have a Microsoft 2000 wireless keyboard and it was bought in Hong Kong with the keyboard ONLY (not with the mouse) and I think its been 1.5 or 2 years I don't remember and yesterday it suddenly stopped working! I tried to search online and find this page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838398) but after reading the whole page that I found, was that there is no grey button on my receiver. I tried to check the battery in the keyboard, but it seems perfectly fine, I pulled it out and replace the keyboard light turned green and I think so its OK. Then I used my common sense to check my receiver by unplugging and re - connect the receiver and tried to listen to the sound produced by the seven windows USB, unplug sound. What is two shades. When unplugging goes 1.2 (1 with more tone and 2 with low tone) and when connecting its 2, 1. so with my common sense, I think that the receiver is not broken, so I think it should be a bit I'm missing some sort of software or something? But that couldn't be true because I didn't uninstall the software recently. Can someone help me please? Thank you very much.

    (P.S. My computer is a Fujitsu Lifebook and it has four usb ports, two ports usb 3.0, a load usb 3.0 port and a usb 2.0 port. I always use the port of loading to my keyboard, but I don't think it can be charged in explosion can not to it. On one of my usb 3.0 ports, I plugged in a decision long term it forget the Logitech wireless Mini to use my mouse (bought before the keyboard, the main reason for not buying the package with the keyboard and mouse) and usb 2.0 port, I plugged in an innovations MERKURY cooling pad that has been used for some time now. I tried to unplug it and just to try every single usb port, but all ports does not work, but the thing tone still exists)

    Hello

    Hi, Bay boy.

    I understand that your wireless keyboard does not work.  Here are a few articles that I would go through for troubleshooting this problem.

    Your keyboard has one or more of the keys that are not

    Use the keyboard Viewer to check if the keys on the keyboard respond correctly when they are pressed.

    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, and then select language & text.
    2. Select Input Sources.
    3. Check the keyboard Viewer & characters.
    4. Activate the input source for the keyboard layout that you test by selecting the checkbox next to it.
    5. Make sure that "Show the menu in the menu bar" is enabled.
    6. Choose Show Keyboard Viewer in the menu in the menu bar.
    7. The viewer of keyboard showing the keyboard layout is displayed on your screen.
    8. Tap the key on the keyboard that is not answer and see if the corresponding key highlights on the keyboard Viewer. If so, this key works fine.

    Notes:

    • If mouse keys in the universal system preferences pane is activated, a lot of keys on the keyboard do respond as expected.
    • If the problem persists, try to run to the top of your Mac in single user mode see if a software problem is causing the problem.

  • Wired Keyboard 500 does not properly

    My new wired keyboard 500 ignores strikes unless I type very slowly.  My old keyboard does the same thing.  Very frustrating.  Is this a Vista problem?

    Hi jdheim,

    This only happens with certain applications? Notepad, Word

    This problem may be caused by a hardware conflict or software, I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the mouse and keyboard and then start.

    Now check if the problem is resolved

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: If outdated security software, can cause this problem

    Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Important: Activate security software once the test is

    Step 3: Change the keyboard and test settings, see the link below for the steps:

  • Default wireless keyboard fn key

    I just got a new HP Omni-27 (Windows 7 64-bit) desktop that comes with a keyboard wireless KG-1162.  The problem is that the status of the function keys fn is reversed from what it should be.  For example, the f10 key reduces the brightness of the screen rather than send a f10 code to the application, and fn + f10 sends a code f10 instead of dimming display.  This makes the keyboard extremely frustrating when you try to use applications that make heavy use of function keys, such as MS Office products and developer IDEs.  Another example is the interactive games that require the use of the function keys, but you rarely have a free extra finger also hold down the fn key.  It is analogous to trying to use a keyboard that is not a caps lock key, but always acts as if shift caps lock was on.  Several keyboards that I use as part of a day, it's the only one who acts in this way.  I would really like to find a way to solve this problem, before you throw this keyboard and buy one that works as it should.  Here is what I tried and learned so far:

    • The references very little, I was able to find in a Google search, that is to suggest things that don't work, or suggest that it is a problem of provider.
    • A conversation with HP support did not help.
    • I checked that no HP wireless keyboard connected to a computer not HP laptop running Windows 7 is correctly.
    • I checked that a USB keyboard plugged into my PC works correctly.
    • My previous HP PC with another keyboard HP wireless Vista worked properly, while he lived.

    My conclusion is that the problem is probably related to the driver for this particular model of wireless keyboard.  Can anyone help with a solution (other than to throw him out and use one that works correctly)?

    [Updated to add more recent information from the keyboard manual].

    The f1 through f11 keys do or multimedia keys, standard function keys. The default value is multimedia.

    To switch multimedia on the standard function, press fn + esc keys simultaneously. This locks the standard function keys. To switch back to standard feature of multimedia press, the fn + esc keys simultaneously again.

    Pressing the fn key at the same time with a f1 to the f11 key, performs the standard function.

    Press fn + fx at startup of the system to use the function keys to access and use the features of the BIOS (for example, the boot or system recovery Menu).

    If the keyboard and mouse do not respond, refer to the mouse and keyboard wireless information located with your other product troubleshooting documents.

    For a better battery performance and mouse, avoid using your mouse on a dark or shiny surface and turn the mouse off the power when you do not use.

    ----------

    Please let me know if this solves your problem!

    Hi Gary,.

    Is this due to a Web site? Through Webaccess, you can change that setting so I have previous it connected as a default. The default id is 280761.

    In the meantime, the solution is to connect through the vworkspace application itself.

    Your Admins may allow a direct access via the vWorkspace app. If they do that, the keyboard works (and they can still set to use an RSA token)

    They may have allowed this already so you better asking them how to add and configure the farm through the App.

    Thank you, Andrew

  • Wireless keyboard with infrared

    I have a Palm wireless keyboard that uses infrared to a connection. It was always the case, but I don't have a palm pilot. Are there models that can use infrared? I don't know whether to buy a new model that can use the keyboard, the keyboard to sell or just throw it out. Anyone know what models can still use it? The model I had was an old style tungsten NGO before bluetooth was released. Do not remember the other template identifiers. Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

  • Wireless Mouse 5000 does not work correctly when moved away from the transmitter.

    I have the mouse as shown in the title with new batteries.

    My installed OS Windows 7 x 64 SP1. A clean installed on the computer without additional software in the meantime.
    When I connect the transmitter (2.4 ghz v7.0 model 1423) the mouse to the computer, it identifies only, and the mouse works.
    In devices and printers, the transmitter is under indefinite and after installing IntelliPoint 8.2 64-bit for Windows 7, it remains the same.
    Sometimes the mouse does not react on the screen, as it got stuck and moving in parts rather than sequentially. Including the mouse buttons that do not meet at the moment.
    If I bring the mouse close to the transmitter, the problem goes away and it works fine.
    After the test, no relation to the load on the processor, the problem appears randomly.
    I tried to replace USB ports but no change, the problem goes away only if I put the mouse close to the transmitter.

  • How to use the keyboard in Mac wireless keyboard shortcut?

    Hi all experts,

    I understand that the following keyboard shortcut works in first Pro CS5:

    (1) next page - Goto then point edit

    (2) previous page - Goto previous Mount Point

    (3) home - CTI at the beginning of the sequence

    (4) end - CTI place until the end of the sequence.

    The problem is that I use the Mac wireless keyboard that comes with a shorter keyboard.

    This keyboard, being a shorter version, didn't press Page Down, Page Up, home and end.

    With the help of the arrow up and arrow instead of Page Up and Page down Down does NOT work.

    Any ideas, please?

    Thanks in advance...

    When you hold down the Fn key in the bottom left of any mini keyboard (laptop or wireless) Apple, many options.

    Homepage = Fn + left arrow

    End = Fn + right arrow

    Page Down = Fn + down arrow

    Page Up = Fn + arrow upward

    FWD Delete = Fn + delete

    Row of the top - switch hardware keys to function keys

    There might be more, but these are the only ones I know. Apple used to label functions on keys of direction, but for some reason any that they no longer do.
