Keyboard double typing symbols

by Sebgade Feb 13, 2011 11:49PM PST

Hey, I have the Microsoft Sidewinder x6 keyboard and have had it for quite a long time now. My problem is that when i want to type fx '^' over an 'e' or any other symbol, that i have on my keyboard. I've had this problem once before on my old comp.

If you had the problem before, how did you solve it?
And do other keyboards work or not?

I haven't tried with a different keyboard, and solved it by getting a new computer.

Sorry, but I had to laugh. That sure is one way to solve a keyboard problem. Happy

Hehe, I didn't buy the computer just because of the keyboard problem as you might have figured, but I guess it sounded like that. xD

Given so little to work with.

My last thought is the keyboard repeat delay and rate in the control panel.
