What could cause this problem?
I have a Logitech LX-710 Wireless KB & Mouse combo (For My HTPC) and as of the past few hours it has been acting up (It seems like the CTRL key is stuck (It's not phicially stuck I cleaned the KB and took it apart) like I go to select an object and it selects a whole row or two. I even tried a wired KB & Mouse to no avail
I reinstalled the KB & mouse drivers and that worked for about 5 Minutes and then it started doing that stupid Sh*t again
So what the problem as I'm all out of my trouble shooting skills (Accept taking a slede hammer to it:D)
 
if its selecting a whole row.. then its your shift key.. and you might have sticky shift stuck on.. one of the most annoying useless features windows xp/vista ever had..

but then again seeing your sig you obviously dont use windows.. so id have to say its a firmware issue with the keyboard and there might be an update from logitech..
 
In windows, there's a power save feature for USB. If your OS has a similar feature or you're using windows, disable this feature. That may help, or it may not. Just another thing to try.
 
Look for another input device plugged into your system
ie guitar hero guitar, joystick
They can sometimes interfere with keyboard operation.

I got rid of sticky keys by holding a key down until the message appeared and then told it not to do that again!
(at least I think thats what happened)
 
I tried unpluging everything except the USB Receiver and I even tried a different set of KB/M and I get the same results. I guess I will live up to my User Name and just format C :D I will let the forum know what happens after I Format C.
But one more question/statemrnt
I upgraded the firmware to the USB Receiver and it works on another comp perfectly so could a bad Motherboard USB Controller cause this?

possibly.. but i always blame windows first and the motherboard second when it comes to stuff like that..
 
OK its not the Motherboard I bought it off Amazon.com and I sent the MB back and I received another one today and it still does the same thing. I can use a PS/2 Keyboard and mouse fine though The LX-710 is USB for both the keyboard and Mouse whats weird though is it works fine on another computer
The Motherboard model is Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H
 
When you tried the wired keyboard, was the other one still plugged in?
 
I had both plugged in when I used the wired Keyboard (I was only using the mouse from it though)
 
That might be the problem.
If the faulty keyboard was still plugged in and the CTRL key was still stuck, that is probably why.
Try with just the one known good keyboard plugged in.
