Keyboard intermittent lag

I would give this wireless mouse keyboard five stars if it weren't for the intermittent lag I experienced. Sometimes, but not always, when you wake up, the keyboard behaves as if dinner is already late. Then suddenly it works, but the first sent keys are missing. Or, even worse, a key is pressed and it wakes up in the middle and stays pressed until pressed again. I misplaced the USB stick everywhere. From the front of my PC to the USB hub to the back of my PC. The question goes on. I thought it might be my phone or some other RF interference but I'm pretty sure I've eliminated it all to no avail. So maybe I have either a bad keyboard or key. The Solar app says the keyboard is fully charged, so that might not be an issue. Curiously, the mouse does not appear to have been harmed. I have a couple of pairing keys that I bought as a backup in case one gets lost, so I'll try pairing with one of them to see if that fixes the situation. As for the product itself, when it works (for lack of a better word), the keyboard action is. Nice. I don't think I've ever typed on a nicer keyboard. It reminds me of the keyboard on my laptops, but nicer. The mouse seems a little flimsy, but it didn't disappoint. The hard/smooth mouse wheel button feels a little clunky, but honestly, how often will someone change this setting? I think if you were a graphic artist you would do just that. It's also a lot lighter than I like. My M510 is a lot heavier and I like it in a mouse. In my opinion, the intermittent keyboard must be either a software bug, a driver issue, or maybe just a key issue. It's hard to rate this combo low because of how heavy the keyboard is (AWESOME!), how solid it feels, how great the action and layout is. And even the solar app works great! From above maybe tell me what the LUX is if the battery has been at 100% charge all the time since I've had it. Unless you're a vampire who needs to do calculations in complete darkness, you don't even need to check out this app. However, it opened my eyes to this application and how it can be applied to other embed projects I create. So I resist the urge to take this kid apart and see how they did it. :) I'll post an update when I figure out what the keyboard lag issue is. A belated note worth mentioning. Simply disabling and re-enabling the key fixed it for me, at least for now. If it comes back I will wash and repeat. If it keeps working for a while, at least I know where to go to continue troubleshooting.

Pros
  • Comfortable combination of concave keycaps, quiet keys, and a molded mouse for comfortable typing and mouse control
Cons
  • Reliability
