need keyboard help and FAST!!

[tarsky781]

I have a VERY annoying problem with my [wireless] keyboard... it doesn't read the letters I'm typing, and even writing this message has been stressful

I have a wireless keyboard too. Make sure your batteries are fresh and your remote is plugged in and nearby.

mostly the batteries.

How do I change the batteries?
I was thinking that was it, because it happens frequently with the mouse

I think it should be on the back of the keyboard and if you have an adapter plugged into your computer for it, that might have batteries, too...

I don't really know! I have a laptop (which is wireless) but my keys always seem to work! Sometimes, the machine slows down and you can't read the letters, but I suggest that you learn to type quickly and accurately. That can help in the long run, because when your screen i loading, you can type fast and accurately, and you can write your message in the same way as a regular keyboard.

I checked the back of the keyboard... I don't see where they are

Make sure your Numbers Lock isn't on. -On my keyboard, it's the F6 key and says in small letters "num lock". Usually if that's on there's a light on that key that glows. The num lock key may be in a different location on your keyboard. If it's on, just tap it again to turn it off.

That's never affected my keyboard before, but it seems to be working now.
Thanks everyone!
I have no idea which post to choose... they are all very helpful!
