A keyboard often has a battery (a wireless keyboard always has one). Check the battery...when it begins to go, you will find that it drops letters and can’t keep up with your typing.

Throw the keyboard in a closet and shell out $30 for a new one. You can buy one for ten if you’re not picky. Keep the receipt, try it, either problem solved or you rule out the keyboard.

Keyboards are dirt cheap.
I bought one a few months ago. I think it was about six bucks.
Always good to have a spare, anyway.

Its obvious you have the Ham virus.

Bake the computer on 350 for 10 minutes per pound then remove from the oven, baste with a mixture of brown sugar and butter, then return to the oven for five minutes.

Serve with creamed hard drive, and corn.

Your welcome in advance.

If your keyboard has a battery, replace it. Otherwise, stop by a local thrift store and buy one for about a dollar.

Try blowing compressed air between the keys. Try the 3-inch drop technique. Check the keyboard’s cable connection on the back of the computer. Try a different keyboard.

If it happens with a different keyboard, it’s *probably* software related.

Is anything else in your computer lagging behind? Like the mouse at times, or windows not opening as quickly as usual or programs taking a longer time to load?

No seriously what you should do is put your keyboard in the bath dub to soak for a while, then put it in the microwave. Don’t worry, the sparks wont hurt. Then give it to a Gypsie family and let it see the world for a while. When they bring it back (which they will, by the way), bury it underground with some cabbage. Well I’m sure about that, but it makes cabbage taste good. Anyway, plug it in in about a year and see if that works.

You should probably get together with this guy and share your experiences:

I've had that happen with older keyboards, could be a few things. Could be dirty. Someone mentioned compressed air that might help. I've had success with some by taking them apart (if you feel like it and have a small phillips head handy) and cleaning the plastic sheet underneath the keys where the circuits run with alcohol. Coffee, lint, all kinds of stuff gets in there after a while....

Bad acting keyboard?
1) if wireless, change the battery
2) re-install the drivers
3) buy a new keyboard (about $30)
4) do what I do, unplug it from the computer, take it to the sink; hose it down with lots of water; scrub it with warm soap and water; rinse it thoroughly; dry it out (this may take overnight); plug it back in and it works like a new board. It’s amazing the electronic problems that cookie crumbs and beverage drips can cause.

A few years ago, I decided to clean my PC keyboard internals.

It took a while, but I learned to like the new keyboard.

A while later, I decided to clean my PC mouse internals.

It took a while, but I learned to like the new mouse.

It is cheaper to replace them, once they start causing problems.

Turn it upside down and slam it on a hard surface a few times to clean it out. It should be fine. This works for me, anyway.
