Hello again.

I recently bought a new wireless keyboard and mouse set, the rapoo 8900, but I've been having some problems.

When I'm gaiming the keys will randomly become unresponsive. For example: When I'm sprinting in BF4, I will suddenly stop even though my fingers never left the keys. The same goes for crouching, where I will suddenly stand up. It seems to happen almost every time I press and hold down keys. It seems like the kind of thing you would expect from a nearly drained battery, or being out of range, but I have tried several batteries and the receiver is only 0,5 m from the keyboard (a glass plate is between the receiver and the keyboard.

Any ideas to what might be wrong?

EDIT: 0,5 m not 0,5 cm

Is it using 2.4GHz wireless?

If so, do you have a router, home wireless phone, or microwave nearby?
 
Are all your USB drivers installed and up to date?
What about your motherboard BIOS?
 
I installed the drivers for the keyboard from the manufacturer website, and the bios is the latest..
 
The only USB drivers listed on the motherboard support site are USB 3 drivers, which are installed. I have tried using the receiver in the USB 3 slot (internal USB 3 -> USB 2) and in USB 2 slots..
 
All looks good there, the USB 2.0 driver would have been included with the Chipset INF.

Have you tried the keyboard/mouse in another PC?
 
I noticed something when plugin in and unplugging the keyboard. When I plug it in it is completely fine for 10-15 seconds, but then it degrades until I cant play anymore.. Does this mean anything?
 
I haven't seen it happen like that.
Did it do the same on the other computer?
 
No, the other computer was fine.. It is even affecting writing now:s I'm gonna look into USB power saving settings, and try a shorter distance between receiver and sender..
 
I've disabled the "USB selective suspend setting", I'll see how that works out.
 
The suspend settings did nothing. I guess the next step will be to get a extension cable for the USB.
