Keystroke buffering [Resolved]

Post by BP2016 »

Not always, but a lot of the time, there is an issue with keyboard buffering on this machine, which we don't have on other machines, but keystrokes can be lost, or simply nothing appears, or keystrokes are buffered and appear with a delay. Totally unworkable.

What do I need to do?

Example, this morning, I restarted the machine three times, and now the keystroke buffering is not appearing, but it could be returning later in the session. Last night I had a session without problems, but did not shut down the machine and this morning I had a horrendous problem and ended up restarting.

This problem has been occurring since version 18.1

Wireless keyboard? Logitech wireless keyboard? Logitech wireless keyboard with nano receiver?

If yes (and maybe if other) then keyboard batteries don't last as long as they do without reason: very low-power transmitter. Move the keyboard and receiver close and in direct line of sight, i.e., through a desktop USB-hub or alike. Know/remember how it sounds but trust me if it's indeed Logitech gear (at least).
