I just bought this but it doesn't respond unless I hit the keys, especially the space bar, very hard. I have to go back over everything I write and add spaces and missing letters. My old HP wired keyboard was much easier to use. Is this normal? null

I don't have that issue. But I first learned to type on a "manual" typewriter, so I like to "hit" the keys. I guess if I was used to a "touch keyboard" it'd seem that way.

This is usually because the dongle is too far away from the keyboard and mouse. Or there are RF obstructions or interference. Try moving the dongle closer to the front of your computer if it's on the back. I have also had to put them on a USB cable to get them up on the desk to make it responded better. This keyboard and mouse has a pretty good range but can be interfered with from RF interference.

This usually indicates low battery. Check voltage and replace if needed.

Is your USB for the keyboard and mouse within a short unobstructed distance? Mine was set up with a some obstruction and responded in slow motion or missed keystrokes. When I moved the USB closer using a USB extension chord, the keyboard and mouse responded extremely fast.

See if there isn't a driver you could download. Check your keyboard driver in control panel, search for updates. Keystroke is very light on mine.
