SOURCE: my wireless keyboard seems to

Wireless keyboards do have some delay, especially when the batteries are low, are you sure the batteries have a charge? Sometimes even new batteries are dead or very weak.

Some wireless keyboards only have a range of a few feet, but, moving it closer kinda defeats the purpose of having one in the first place.

Have you tried to go to (classic view): start>settings>control panel>keyboards... to make adjustments?

My keyboard will only type a few letters then get stuck and act as if a ctrl button is being pushed. When I pull up the on-screen keyboard, I can type using that, but if I type on the keyboard with it...

Hi Tim.
G42-415

so (windows 7 ? here"?
go to control panel, go to device manager.
then see is the keyboard driver is not bad. (marks on it)
sounds like a bad keyboard
you can in fact unplug internal keyboard cable (ribbon type)
use what you just did the virtual keyboard test.
then plug in a every day, usb keyboard and if that works
the internal is bad.
it will not be the first keyboard to fail, ever
the get spilled drinks on them or just wear out.
its now 8 years old.

the nice thing, is that uSB keyboard might last 8 more years.

old internal keyboards sold on ebay, ask

Hard to type. Does not type all of the letters.

Please make sure that the wireless sensor is working properly, and there shud not be any kind of disruption in the signals between laptop and keyboard.

Some letters can't be typed

You need to replace the whole keyboard since the 4 letters is not working at all. You cannot change only 4 letter keys from your laptop.

Note: If machine is under warranty no need to pay for the repairs.

Keyboard & Mouse Problem

Seems like you Ctrl-key is pressed all the time somehow.
Make sure that none of the Ctrl-keys is stuck.
If you try another keyboard, everything should work fine, so just check your keyboard. Maybe you need to replace it.

When typing, words skip and often scatter or stop

go to my computer icon, right click, properties>hardware tab>device manager, then lok down the list to keyboard, click on the + sign and right click on your keyboard and select uninstall.

 

Restart the notebook and the driver will automatically load again and should type as normal.
