Keyboard inserting extra characters

[HemiMoparGuy1981]

Hey all,

I am having keyboard issues. It is a labtec wireless keyboard that has previously worked on the computer in question without any drivers. It has been a while since it has been powered up though. Other keyboards work fine, but this particular one will add characters...so far the pattern I have recognized is certain keys when pressed it'll add the character to the right as well. For instance when I press r the screen shows rt

Have you tried to clean / blow out your keyboard? You can get dirt buildup within the keyboard, which can cause keys to depress when you press another key.

I tried cleaning it to no avail. Thanks for the tip though, never thought of that

The trouble with wireless keyboards is that the batteries in them don’t last for a long time. Have you changed the batteries?

 

[HemiMoparGuy1981]

Yes, I put brand new fresh batteries in.

I've even tried the keyboard on another computer, and still functions improperly

I have exactly this problem with my keyboard - maily letters on the left of it. The problem just suddenly appeared one day. Strangely if I unplug it and plug it back in it works fine...
