My keyboard is making me move without pushing any keys during games
9 replies, posted
This problem started a few days ago while playing Counter Strike I would start walking to the right, without pushing the the D key. Sometimes I might walk forward without pushing W. I changed the batteries in it last night that would fix the problem but with no avail. I've had the keyboard for about 2 to 3 years and I've never had any problems. I've only ever had to change the batteries in it 2 or 3 times. My keyboard is the Microsoft Wireless 700 v2.0 with a mouse. The wireless receiver is probably about 7 or 8 inches away, so it should be getting a strong signal.
Clean it?

I've considered this, if I could somehow get the keys off?
Don't take the keys off! Unscrew the back and dust it out. Just be careful not to touch the circuits or the black rubber things that touch the keys.
It could also be a program that is mesing with the keys. Do you have anything running in the background?

Nope, nothing unusual. I moved the receiver and it seems fine now.

Um...the circuits are shielded and the black/green/red/clear/white rubber things don't care if you touch them. They're designed to be able to take some abuse (a spilled water) before they break.

Yeah another infrared device could have been messing with the signals. Is there a TV, radio or some other device near?

I've always heard not to touch them, because the grease on your fingers could slowly damage them, but hell, what do I know?

Problem fixed guys, probably just a faulty signal, I moved the receiver so it's directly in front and it's fine now.
