Ive had my cab up and running for a couple of weeks now and everything was fine before my keyboard started playing up.
I was using it one day and all of a sudden the letter h kept repeating in a text editor, kinda like hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (you get the drift). It keeps doing this everynow and again until I press [Esc] and then it stops. However then I cannot input h. I thought it may just be my USB keyboard playing up so i plugged my old PS2 keyboard in.It seemed fine for a while and then all of a sudden its started doing the same thing but with the number 8.
I have tried the keyboards on another computer and they seem fine. Any ideas what the problem could be or what I may do to fix it?
Thanks.
Btw its on a new comp ive only had for a month or so.

hmm, are you running though an IPAC? if so do you have a button mapped to h? If so sounds like a loose connection on that button

Thanks but no that not causing it. Neither keyboard was plugged into my I-Pac. Ive tried it with my I-Pac unplugged just to make sure but im still getting the same problem :'(

What exact setup do you have? Is the I-PAC connected and the computer on when you are trying this? Where are you plugging the keyboard into?
(I have a similar problem with a KeyWiz that I hot-swap into the PS/2 port. About 1/3 of the time, it will have an apparent stuck key when first plugged in. Pressing any other key or the same key once clears it, and I've never seen it re-occur until I unplugged it again, but it sounds like it might be similar).

I have the I-Pac plugged in via USB. I have tried it with the I-Pac plugged in and without it, both gives me problems.
I have tried two keyboards, one USB (gives me the hhhhhhh problem) and a PS2 keyboard (gives me 8888888)
Im thinking it could me something to do with the computer itself?
