  1. Randomly Not Receiving Keyboard Input


    I'm playing a game on my PC when suddenly my keyboard inputs don't register and any key I click results in this sound. It's not until I click my mouse that it functions again. This happens around every hour or so (just occured while I was typing that sentence, seems to happen outside of the game as well). Are there ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have Windows Game Mode and Discord Overlay turned off.

  2. Language keyboard input doesn't equal output

    Hi,

    Language input may vary depending on the Input method set on your keyboard settings. To sort your concern, we suggest that you check if the desired input is set correctly by following these steps:

    • Type in Language and keyboard options on the search box.
    • Select the desired language that you're trying to set up.
    • Once you've selected the language, select Options.
    • Under Keyboards, select Microsoft IME and click
      Options.
    • Scroll down and select Open advanced settings.
    • A window will pop up. Under General tab, click the drop-down arrow for
      Input method and select the desired input.
    • Click OK.

    Let us know if you encounter any challenges along the process.

  3. Input from keyboard randomly inputting commands.

    Hi there!

    So, I recently have been having a problem with my computer when it comes to keyboard input. I use a Windows Surface Pro 4, both with and without a dock, and with Windows 10 Pro.

    Sometimes when I'm typing, my keyboard will randomly change to either typing commands that are usually aided by the Windows key, and other times it will straight up change keyboards while I'm typing. I believe this might be something with my windows key getting
    stuck, however this makes no sense as I use 3 separate keyboards in my day to day life (I have dock stations set up with mechanical keyboards).

    I have also gone through Ease of Access and disabled all settings in here, and disabled fast start up, and I still am getting this issue on occasion.

    Any suggestions on what I can try to resolve this?

  4. Randomly Not Receiving Keyboard Input

    Keyboard input lag (Logitech K270 wireless keyboard, Windows 10 20H2)

    Hi there. I've got yet another Windows 10 problem. lol

    This time it's my keyboard. I'm using a Logitech K270 wireless keyboard, on Windows 10 Pro 20H2. I have been experiencing keyboard input lag off and on for a couple months now, and I've searched for possible solutions, but none so far have worked. I was hoping you guys could suggest some fixes.

    Here's what I've tried, based on the suggestions I've found on the web:
    • Updating the keyboard/dongle's drivers (there are no drivers on Logitechs's site, oddly) and firmware. Nope.
    • Swapping USB ports. Nada.
    • Unplugging any extraneous USB devices. Zilch.
    • Checking the batteries. No joy.

    As I was typing this it was lagging here and there. It's a bit disconcerting. Anyway... I don't think I missed anything, but if you need more information or diagnostics, lemme know and I'll upload 'em.
