Hi all.
I did some searching, but found no definitive answers.
I have a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000. I do a fair amount of gaming, and every once in a while (and not on all games), the keyboard will stick. To be specific:
You know how in many action/ first person shooter games, the WSAD keys are your movement keys? For going Forward, Backward, Left and Right? Well, I can let go of the "W" button, but, my character keeps going forward. When I try one of the other keys, I have to keep repeatedly mashing it to finally get it to respond.
And when it finally does respond, my system beeps at me. And I don't mean these beeping sounds come out of my computer's speakers (I have a surround-sound setup), I mean it comes out of the system speaker, the same speaker that beeps during system boot-up.
And using the mouse (also wireless) also has this "sticking" feature, too. Using the left-mouse button is frequently used in shooter games to fire a weapon.
My keyboard and mouse are not LITERALLY sticky, like from soda pop or candy, so they don't need cleaning.
There are also fresh Duracell batteries in them, so that's not it either.
I went into Control Panel/ Accessibility Options and checked to see if the StickyKeys were checked, but they're not.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pez
