  1. Keyboard Unusable for Typing


    For several months I have suffered with inconsistent keyboard issues. At first I assumed it was a Bluetooth issue and made various attempts to address that. Then I noticed it was also affecting my laptop keyboard as well. The letters I and other vowels seem predominantly affected. I thought perhaps it’s Logitech drivers so updated those it works for a day then presents with same errors. I bought a new ms 5050 yesterday and it worked great for one day. Now I am writing this on my phone as it wouldn’t type on my keyboard. I don’t want to go back to wired but
