RE: MS wireless keyboard gaming issue...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I still have the problem...moving the receiver closer never helped at all for
that problem. The slowing down the repeat rate did help, but this keyboard
just is not a keyboard for gaming. I also know another gamer that got the
same keyboard and has the same problems.

Also, on a similar note...I go to lots of LAN parties and well, the
interference from the other wireless keyboards drive it nuts!!! I never had
this problem with my Logitech!! :0

I don't know if it’s a driver issue or a hardware issue, but for a gaming I
would recommend that if you get this keyboard to get a second one or return
it....for me it’s to late!! :(
