I have a Logitech LX700 wireless desktop setup and have had no problems with it for nearly a year. An odd problem has started occurring though and only with 1 game which is EQ2. It's like it keeps losing signal or something, if i hold the forward key it will just stop me running as if I've let go. Sometimes when i turn left or right it will spin me too far round and on occasion it's just left me spinning in a circle till I've quit the game. I do have the settings up very high so thought maybe my PC was struggling but on changing the settings to default again it made no difference. If i used the both mouse buttons to run technique i got no issues. The batteries on the keyboard are brand new. I've had to swap it with an old PS2 keyboard I've had which works perfectly. Bizarrely my wife was experiencing similar problems with her wireless keyboard as well but no where near as bad as mine and her problem has gone away. Could it be signal interference although we played WoW together a lot with no problems?

That seems the most likely option, sometimes you can change the frequency of the keyboard, have you looked in the manual?

Here is the best support i could find on the subject :-/
Also make sure you have the latest drivers on all machines.

Had exactly same problem on my lx10, sticky spacebar,dodgy forward key.
You need to go to the logitech website and download the firmware update for the reciever unit.(updated mine not had a problem since).
update (lx700) found here.

Does that file actually do anything to the firmware?
Download the file (ldm252.exe) or choose vista file if thats your OS.Run it and follow instructions.
Trust me it will work ;)
