Computer Problems.

Hey guys, so I've got a small issue with my computer that I cannot seem to wrap my head around.

While playing games such as WoW, after a few hours of play, I'll go to type and for some strange and unprofound reason all by itself it starts typing an infite loop of 'i's' into the chat, this continues to happen once i've left windows.

I thought it was a driver issue, so I uninstalled all Razer drivers.
I tried unplugging and then re-plugging, but nothing change.

The only way to retify this is to restart my computer and this becoming very frequent and very annoying.

Any advice?

only after wow, or does it happen at other times?

could it be a stuck key on the keyboard?

yeah check the keyboard first, especially the 'i' key

Dunno what sort of switch mechanism they use on the Lycosa. But I bet it's stuck.

I had a similiar problem with my old keyboard where if i held the left arrow key for too long it would continuously strafe left until i pressed the key again! Never found the solution to it though but replaced the keyboard and it's never happened since lol.

This might seem strange to suggest but what mouse do you have?

A friend of mine has a Microsoft sidewinder mouse I think and it apparantly records keystrokes and keeps looping them in the way you said.

I said it must be the keyboards but he swears blind its the mouse.

My mouse is a Razer Lachesis, I've uninstalled both drivers and it seems to be working okay so far.

I've not had this problem before, sure the keyboard isn't top notch for performance (Keys stop responding at times, but nothing like this).

But to answer previous questions, nope it doesn't just happen while playing wow, happens while just doing everyday things, browsing and such, such an annoyance.

I'm in the market to buy a new keyboard soon anyway, but still, it's a **** take.

Guna go for the G19 I think.

If your keyboard is such that you can take the keycaps off, I'd do that and have a good vacuum around the i key. Although my keyboard can do this, I understand that not all desktop keyboards allow this.
