    MS Natural Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard 7000 ISSUES


    OK, so I just received my new keyboard (MS Natural Wireless Ergonomic 7000)today in the mail. I followed the instructions; loaded the drivers, installed the batteries, and configured the new keyboard and mouse.

    My issue is that EVERY 10-20 minutes the keyboard loses the connection with the receiver and has to be reset. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I put in new batteries, and moved the receiver to every possible USB port on my PC. I have tried everything I can think of to remedy, but this annoying problem still persists!

    The mouse never loses it's connection, it works flawlessly the entire time! I am out of ideas... other than call MS because of a bum keyboard!

    Could it be a driver issue? Can you try reinstalling the drivers? Maybe the drivers for the USB too.

    Been there done that... I even tried the drivers online as well as those on the CD.

    I will take your word for it. I'm sure you have tried everything obvious.

    I am gonna try hooking kb & mouse to my lappy later today to rule out any possible software issues, but this is totally intermittent!

    KB was still on this morning, when I woke PC from sleep and 10 minutes later... gone! This is very frustrating!

    ================================================================================================
    Rather than double posting I am UPDATING:
    I tried the kb/mouse combo on my laptop... same result, and this time I tried it without the Intellipoint drivers 1st. KB lost connectivity in 5 minutes, added IP drivers and same result. Called MS technical support and they are sending me a new kb/mouse!

    I have the same mouse arriving today, so I am glad to hear that your problems are only with the KB.

    Have you looked in the event viewer?

    No, I havent bothered because the problem was replicated on my laptop which has a clean install of Win7 and it didnt matter if I had the Intellipoint software loaded or not. The KB still lost its connection with the USB tranceiver... so it is the KB.

    Besides that after 1 phone call to MS they are sending me a complete replacement set, so I will have an extra working transceiver and mouse!
