Windows 10: Keyboard keys repeating randomly

Hi


I purchased a Microsoft sculpt comfort keyboard and randomly some keys will repeat continuously until I break the blue tooth connection which seems to be the only way to break the repeat cycle, it's easy to fix when it's just typing letters but when the delete key sticks it becomes a bigger issue, especially in outlook. I had the same issue with another Microsoft keyboard and I assumed it was an issue with the keyboard which is why I purchased a new one but same issue.


I have updated the mouse and keyboard centre but no change.


Suggestions?


Regards

Keyboard repeat delay and repeat speed

Hi Joseph,

I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver. Follow the steps to uninstall & reinstall the keyboard driver from device manager.

• 
  Press Windows key + X from the
  Keyboard and click on Device Manager.
  
• 
  In Device Manager, double click on the
  Keyboard.
  
• 
  It will show you the device driver name, select that device and then right click on it.
  
• 
  Click on Uninstall button.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, the drivers will get automatically installed on your Windows 10.
  
• 
  Repeat the same for Mice and other pointing devices.
  

Hope it helps.

 

keyboard randomly repeating keystroke when plugged in

My keyboard keep randomly repeat my keystrokes. Any key could be repeated, sometimes twice, sometimes 3 times or more, no pattern at all. When I remove the keyboard and plug it in another computer, it work just fine. The built-in keyboard of the laptop also have no issue. Also, it ONLY happens when I have the laptopp plugged in to a power source. If I run it on battery power, nothing is out of place.

I've tried restarting the computer, enable filter key and changing the delay setting for the keystroke, physically removingg the battery, reinstall the keyboard driver, drain the battery completely then hold the power button for more than 30s to drain the remaining electricity before replugging and turning the thing on... but nothing work! The only way for it to work like normal is to unplug the laptop and use it on battery, which is highly disruptive to my workflow.

Could someone help please?

Some techcnical info:

• OS: Windows 10 Home (64 bit)
  
• Laptop brand: ASUS
  
• Processor: Intel Core i5 -2450M CPU @2.50GHz
  
• Keyboard brand: HTC Keyboard (plugged in through an USB port)
