I've always stuck to having a wired keyboard and a wireless mouse.

The odd mouse squeek I can handle but keyboards going off on one can be very frustrating.

Also look at, does it happen when your microwave is on. Do you also have a wireless network? (perhaps changing its channel might help)

Have you spilled anything on the keyboard in the past? Im quite clumsy i have spilled quite few times on the keyboard and that will make thinks stick on off you can strip a keyboard down and clean it

Keyboard is new, not near any phone, goes walk about at almost any time it chooses so can only think that it might be the proximity to the the tower?

please describe what is happening.

[Kenn]

The keys seem to stick .....or at least do not respond..can't be more definitive that that.

has this just started doing this after working happily before?

dx

[Kenn]

No, but we have only had the new base station 3 weeks and the keyboard came with it.Have tried moving it and tilting it ,will be working fine and then freezes up, batteries have been replaced.

use a search engine and goto the makers site for he model number of the keyboard and download and install the latest drivers.

YEHAA problem solved, changed the aerial port after a chat with son.

[dx100uk]

aerial port?

[Kenn]

May not have used the right term, there are several places that the wireless aerial will plug into the tower, have moved it to the front and now it seems to be fine.

Give me a long wire and a morse key any day beats all this new fangled technology!
