  1. Losing control of both keyboard and mouse after using the pc for a long period of time


    Hi, this has just started happening but sometime my keyboard and mouse would just become unresponsive and unplugging and replugging doesn’t solve the issue. The only way to solve it is by restarting computer, this has happened 3 times today. I don’t know if it’s due to pc overheating or not.

    Microsoft 5050 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Not Detected

    Hi,
    I have a new Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard 2000 now.
    Tried what you suggested with an old keyboard, connected the new one and it's a bit better.
    I stll get an error saying the 'MKCHelper.exe' file is missing.
    I still can't uninstall/reinstall Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Centre, as it says it is on the PC, but is not listed in the list of software to uninstall.
    When I slow the wheel scroll speed down, it works fine, but when I restart the PC I have to do it again, as it speeds up so much I can't control it.

    wireless keyboard and mouse periodically lose connection

    Sometimes my wireless keyboard and mouse lose their connection momentarily. This started about a month ago. Usually they reconnect in about 10 seconds. But lately there have been times when they haven't reconnected. Restarting fixes.

    Microsoft wireless comfort keyboard 5050 and mouse.

    USB dongle is connected to a USB extension cable plugged into a Plugable docking station.

    Losing control of both keyboard and mouse after using the pc for a long period of time

    Mouse and keyboard acting weird/inconsistently

    About a year ago, I had a mouse that started double clicking occasionally. Ignored it for a long time, despite it continuously doing it. Fairly close to that same time period, my keyboard also began to occasionally double key press. I've set my keyboard settings so that it shouldn't register same key presses happening in too quick succession, and that mostly solves the issue with the keyboard (though it'll still double key press from time to time).
    Recently, I switched back to an older mouse I still had lying around. This one never had double click issues before I replaced it with my newer one, but I'm experiencing double clicks on this one now too. Sometimes, it'll also register left clicks as right clicks. It generally occurs in periods of time. Like sometimes, I can go days or weeks without much issues, while other days it'll double click or right click like crazy all the time.
    In the 20+ years I've been working with PC's, this last year has given me more mouse+keyboard issues than all other years put together. Any suggestions?

    Summary:
    -Got 2 mouses that constantly go through periods of double clicking.
    -Mouse sometimes goes through periods of registering left clicks as right clicks.
    -Keyboard frequently double key presses.
