    Intermittent keyboard fail & jerky mouse
    « on: November 06, 2017, 11:48:23 PM »
    COMPUTER: HP 27-n101a Pavilion

    PROBLEM: Intermittent keyboard fail and jerky mouse. Keyboard and mouse are a wireless combo by HP

    EXAMPLES: Everyone knows jerky mouse but intermittent keyboard fail is, but the keyboard is another matter

    I TYPE:

    This is the way I type content to show Computer Hope forum an example

    BUT I GET:

    Th  ty enty o shhhhh o n ex

    But if I type slow enough there isn't a problem

    PLEASE NOTE:

    HP tech support has completed ALL possible remote tests and sent a tech to my place. He replaced my keyboard/mouse but it didn't solve the problem. ore than that he had no idea except replacing the hard drive which has tested fine quite a number of times.

    MY THEORY:

    I think this must be some kind of memory issue because:

    • When the keyboard plays up, the mouse is jerky

      When the keyboard types fine, the mouse moves fine

      Sometimes the keyboard improves if I shut Firefox

      The slower I type, the better the keyboard performs

      A restart sometimes helps when the problem really gets bad

    I don't know what to do - my expertise is with graphics and websites, not memory-inside-the-computer stuff

    Cheers, John

    What is the actual model of the wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Then we can go from there.

    when does it happen?
    all the time, only after n minutes, sometimes it doesn't happen, completely random, only when a certain program is running?

    to rule out some other driver, or software, boot the PC into Safe Mode and see if it repeats.

    What happens when using a standard keyboard and mouse?
