I have no idea if this is the case, but when installing new hardware it is VERY important to follow the instructions that came with it to the letter. A lot of hardware that I have bought throughout the years has very explicit instructions to NOT plug the device in without first installing the software/drivers that come with it. If you did this, try uninstalling all associated software and drivers with the product, then re-install following the manufacturers exact instructions. I have found this to work in the past.

I don't think so. I have had devices do this in the past and have even had a couple that I never did figure out. It is beyond frustrating, I know. I will keep racking my brain and search online for an answer. Surely there is SOMETHING out there.

Ok.....here is something that worked on the identically same problem.

UPDATE: This is a Windows 8 problem. I have since ran across several people who have had virtually the same thing happening, only with different devices. I have also seen this remedy (the disabling of USB 3.0) solve the issue of a wireless keyboard having a range of only 1-2 feet from the USB dongle. Once USB 3.0 was disabled, range of the wireless keyboard was dramatically increased.

Give it a shot. If it doesn't work just change it back.
