Inconsistent keystroke performance

Question

When keystroking often times some of the typed characters do not show up in the text.  "Hre is an exampl of what we fae"......That was an example of what we face.  We replaced the old keyboard but the results have not changed with the new keyboard.  Any ideas?

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

To change the delay before keyboard characters repeat

 1.  Open Keyboard by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then clicking Keyboard.

2.  Under Character repeat, move the Repeat delay slider to the left to increase the amount of time you must hold down a key before the keyboard character repeats. Move the slider to the right to decrease the amount of time before characters repeat.

 To change the speed at which keyboard characters repeat

 1.  Open Keyboard by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then clicking Keyboard.

2.  Under Character repeat, move the Repeat rate slider to the left to make keyboard characters repeat more slowly, or to the right to make them repeat faster.

This should resolve your issue.  You are most likely a very fast typist and the keyboard is not responding fast enough to your touch so by playing around with the settings you can get it where it is optimal for your typing skill.

Thanks,
