I wonder if those keys are 'stuck'? Try seeing if they've come up all the way or if they're 'sideways' a bit. Also, did you spill anything on the keyboard? I don't think I've had that issue with mine but I did 'kill' one spilling coffee on it. I did wash it out and it worked for a while but all my fault! (What I wore out on my original one was the palm rests, must have had that keyboard some 5+ years so LOTS of use!)

This design is VERY sensitive to moisture. Even a small dribble that wouldn't slow down a keyboard with regular key switches can cause this one to fail in sections.

Mine did the same thing , mine was about 8-10 years old... I just went on ahead and replaced it...

Purchase the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050! or Logitech Wave.. much better choices!
