Hi all,

 

 

My 2.4GHz wireless keyboard (GK300) suffers from a very bad case of keystrokes repeating by themselves, being ignored, or the keyboard simply hanging up for seconds at a time.

 

It's completely random. Sometimes I have no problems. Sometimes it's really bad. Sometimes it's the r key, sometimes a key, windows key, m key. Currently I'm struggling to write this post...

 

I've seen a report from another user who had the exact same problem saying toying with his 2.4GHz wifi settings did the trick. I'm fully expecting that the source of my problem is also interference, like them.

 

I've tried turning my wifi off, as well as my wireless mouse, headset, and phone (that's about all the wireless devices I know of in my apartment) and I still get exactly the same issue, although now noticeably less intensely (from quick tests, tallying up amounts of key skips and all - probably not placebo).

 

I think this confirms that interference is the cause. But I don't know why it still goes on with all my devices off. I live in an apartment and I can catch more than a dozen wifi signals, so maybe that's it. Maybe that's why the issue flares up randomly as well. But I can't turn off all of my neighbors' wifi to permanently fix the issue let alone test the theory.

 

 

Not sure what to do at this point. Should I just assume the keyboard was not made for my specific country/situation and just return it? It's kind of a cheap chinese piece of trash judging by the awful english on their website, so I guess I had it coming, right?
