Here's a weird one...

[Guest]

Greetings:

I have a microsoft wireless optical desktop elite set, ie, an intellimouse
explorer 2.0 and natural multimedia keyboard, 2 wireless on one reciever.

Sometimes, especially while playing games, many of my keystrokes are not
registering or processing at all. As I said this usually happens while
playing a game, especially a first person shooter with a lot of keystrokes
and mouse movement. Is there something I can do to help this, or is it
simply the limitations of the hardware reciever, not processing everything
I'm doing, cus I'm doing it too quickly?

I contacted the RMA dept. and they sent me 3 new sets, all of which have
this issue.

Do you have a telephone near the keyboard? Move it at least two feet away.

No, no phone anywhere in the room. And I usually put the keyboard mouse and
reciever on the coffee table away from the monitors and such so I can play on
the tv, but alas there is still data loss with my keystrokes.

What happens when you use a wired mouse and keyboard?

When I use wired hardware there is no problem. Also this only happens when I
use the two together, and only while playing games. The mouse on its own
with a wired keyboard, seems to work fine.
The problem with this is my wired keyboard is missing some keys...

Seems that they are interfering with each other. Re-orient the recievers
for the mouse and keyboard so the are not in close proximity to one
another and see if that helps.

I Thought I made this clear, this is a set, ie, one mouse one key and one
reciever.

I thought I made it clear in the first post: This is a set of wireless input
devices, ie, one mouse, one key, one reciever.

Ok. Sorry if I mis-read.

To all you fellow geeks out there:

The Hardware:
Alas my wireless optical desktop elite, intellimouse explorer 2.0 and
natural multimedia keyboard, 2 wireless on one reciever, is STILL being a
pain!

The competition?
I'm not about to bash microsoft, but I noticed a friend of mine has a
logitech equivilent, both on one reciever, and his doesn't have any sort of
problems with missing keystrokes in first person shooters; or otherwise.

The situation:
When I am using the mouse and keyboard simultaneously, often random
keystrokes OR mouse clicks, don't register and have to repeatedly get pressed.
This usually happens in a first person shooter where multiple keystrokes are
required coordinated with mouse movement and clicks.

Also, I've noticed the keyboard has started missing keystrokes outside of
the gaming world... ie, using msn messenger and other IM services... this is
no longer isolated to the gaming world and very frustrating!

I've replaced the set 3 times from the RMA department, and I am certain they
all have this defect. I've tried hooking up a second reciever from one of
the old sets to improve connectability... same problem. And to rule out the
murphy's law: YES, I changed the batteries!

I've also tried uninstalling intellimouse and intellipoint completely, and
also tried installing updated versions than were included in the package.
I'm out of ideas, so I turn to you guys. I'm desperate!

PLEASE OH PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO SWITCH TO LOGITECH!!! They are EVIL!
