Hi Peter,



You pretty well answered your own question  in a sense  <g>

It's not the keyboards that are the problem, it may your wife's computer or the keyboard receiver dongle.



How about swapping the receiver? Is it plugged into a USB port?

Try another port. it may intermittent contact problems.

If plugged into a hub ,try a port on the computer itself..

If the swap pinpoints the receiver as being intermittently faulty, you may have to get another one.

Subject: [PCBUILD] wireless keybaord problem



My wife and I are using the Logitech Wave wireless keyboard/mouse set. On my

wife's computer, the keyboard started to skip characters - she would press a

letter or space bar and nothing happens. After pressing it several times, it

would finally respond. Batteries were fine, so I swapped keyboards with her.

No luck. On my computer, her keyboard worked fine while my keyboard

exhibited the same problem.



 



I next installed the Logitech keyboard drivers (Windows 7 Pro 32-bit). Did

not solve the problem. Unfortunately, the problem is intermittent and

sometimes the keyboard works fine for a few hours. I almost appears that

there is some sort of RF interference that causes the problem, but then why

is the keyboard on my computer not affected (same room). Wife's computer is

an older Dell Optiplex DPH. The mouse seems to be working fine.



 



Has anyone else run into something like this? My next step would be to try a

wired keyboard, but was hoping to solve this problem - the keyboard has

worked for two years without trouble and suddenly this!
