cordless keyboards

Hello everyone,

Not really sure where to put this so i will post it here.

Does anyone seem to have any issues running a cordless keyboard with CoH ??

I ask because I have a Kensington Pilotboard wireless keyboard and man oh man it hates CoX.

I have no issues with it at all until I run COX.

Then it freaks out. I lose control of the character, he runs either around in circles or starts jumping down the street turning left and right, Agroing everything along the way of course , Then of course, I end up in the hosp.

now during all this in local and broadcast It types out either in local or broadcast ( it surprises me)

[Local] Crimson Skylark: <color white><bgcolor #2222aa><scale .75>level 11 Blaster

[Local] Crimson Skylark: <color white><bgcolor #2222aa> Looking for team

[Local] Crimson Skylark: <color black><bgcolor #aaaa22> HELP!
but I did not type that MYSELF.

Now at this point in time the mobs are laughing as me while they roast me and the pedestrians shuffle by and laughing and forming an L on their forheads with their thumb and index finger.

My batteries are fresh, I have no other wireless anything in my room and it only happens in CoX.

Any idea what the heck is going on ??

Perhaps I have a few of Gismo's friends in my keyboard.

If anything else, perhaps Mr. Keyboard will meet Mr. Hammer

I don't know what it is but I had a similar problem on my keyboard, less dramatic of course, where I would hold down"w" and as soon as i pressed any other button I would have to repress "w" to move not really that bad but annoying as hell when you are escaping

Could be you need updated drivers for your keyboard. I'm assuming it's USB and technically plug and play, but sometimes your OS just doesn't have a generic driver to cover it, and odd things can happen.

I use a basic Logitec cordless keyboard to play CoX on my laptop, and the only time I have problems is when the batteries are running down. If I press a button and nothing happens, I know it's time to change the batteries. That said, I don't create hotkeys or do any other kind of "fancy stuff" that is keyoard related. I mainly use it to mash the Q-W-E, Tab, and Space Bar, and to chat.

I have a wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I only have some issues when my receiver is not in the proper place, and then the button presses are really delayed, or sometimes I cannot even type normally. I adjust my receiver position and it works.
In the game, I get some issues if I press a button while zoning. Then my character continues with that button being held down, until I press it and then it works fine again.

I've used two different cordless keyboard/mouse combos with COH, and I've had no problems except for when the batteries get low.
