Keyboard keys not registering when typing quickly or lightly on a new HP2000 laptop

Hello, I have the HP2000 laptop and my key compresses frequently d not register unless pressed alot harder than normal. This pc is only a few months od and I feel this is not usual. Is there a quick fix or adjustment or am I stuck learning how to type like a caveman with 10lb fingers???

Well you should not have to press the keyboard extremely hard to get it to recognize your key strokes. Have you connected an external keyboard to see if the issue occurs still?

Keyboard input skips letters when typing quickly

I type very fast and noticed that if I type a word with a double letter (like two t's in 'letter), the second repeated character is often missing. If I type a bit slower, the problem is resolved.
Technically, this should not be a keyboard repeat issue, since it relates to two separate keystrokes, not holding down the key for repeat. Nonetheless, I set the repeat rate to max, the delay to minimum -- yet the problem persists.
It is very distinctly an issue with speed. My friends who type at a more moderate pace have no problem. In other words, it doesn't appear to be a defect particular to my machine. Rather, it is seems like a parameter that is just not capable of recognizing keystrokes in such rapid succession.
Note: I cannot reproduce the problem on a PC laptop, which seems to have a faster keyboard response.
Is this an OS issue that can be fixed with a hack? Or is this a limitation on the hardware?

My third defective macbook did the same thing after coming back from RSD repairs which included a keyboard replacement. If you didn't hit each key with a very deliberate stoke, it had a good chance of not being recognized. My fourth macbook has other issues but it does have a perfectly functioning keyboard now. My first defective macbook had sticking keys due to excess glue under the keys.
Amazing with something as simple as a keyboard, apple still can't get it right. This is the first device in almost 30 years of using and buying computers I've ever had to worry about a stupid keyboard working.
I'd suggest you visit a store which sells macbooks and see if the behaviour occurs there as well.

Flex 2-14 keyboard flexing in the center and left. Keys not registering.

Hello Lenovo Community,
I recieved my Flex 2-14 about 2 weeks ago. Right after I took it out and began using it I noticed the keyboard was really "flexing" when typing, especially in the middle and left side.
Also, when typing, sometimes the keys won't register which causes letters to be missing in words. In almost every sentence I type there are letters always missing. I noticed that I have to press in the exact center of keys or else they will not register. Even if I press a key all the way down on the sides, nothing happens. This is a really disappointing keyboard from Lenovo, definitely the worst I've used.
Is anyone else experiencing either of these issues? What can I do to get this fixed?
Thank you.

Hi, yes having exactly the same issue syptoms as you hve described. Took it back to PC World - advised that was the design!

My backlit keyboard keys not working?

How come my backlit keyboard keys not working? When I try to use them I get a circle with a line running through it?

Jax, the backlight is currently usinig a sensor to turn the light on and off for you. This uses the least amount of battery. If you want to test or control the lighting yourself, go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, click on the Keyboard icon. Here you can turn the automatic setting on and off. If it is off, you can use they keyboard keys to turn the keyboard lighting on and off.
Exactly!

Since upgrading to 5.1, my oncreen keyboard does not appear when it needs to

since i have done the upgrade, my on-screen keyboard does not appear when it needs to. I keep having to restart my system to make it happen.... Is there a special way to display the keyboard manually, or should it be automatic?

Hellow keith5000 ,
regarding your issue lets see what we can do to solve this issue.
- have you tried safe boot
safe boot = starting up the mac with the SHIFT- button.
- when entering safe mode you will be able to enter and quick change some settings
now next question do the unwanted aplications still load in safe mode , if so
go to the Apple icon -> System preferences -> user & groups -> login items (top right on the screen from user & groups window) now at login items u can close any unwanted aplications by deleting them or unmarking them
- unwanted aplications will now disapear when starting up your mac os x system
- next issue should be your authentication , this will be a bit more tricky , lets see
same category user & groups and u will see your admin account try seeing if u have enabled the admin account right click on your admin account to see information about it and compare it if your info is correct , next see if you have authorized your admin account to write & read.
if these still don't work , make a test account to see if this problem is user wide or system wide.

My keyboard will not appear when i am using Notes App

My on screen keyboard does not appear when I use Notes app. The + sign (to add a new note) does not function to create a new note
Does anyone have any answers
Thanks

Try closing the Notes app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Notes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Notes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Virtual keyboard does not open when attempting to type in username or password fields

Thanks for the report. We're working on fixing this; you can see the current status here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591047
This bug should be fixed within the next week or so, and will be fixed in the upcoming beta release.

Having trouble with the messages on mac my friends using it are coming not registered when i try to send them a message

having trouble with the messages on mac my friends using it are coming not registered when i try to send them a message

That's probably because they're not registered.
Messages only works if your friend has an iphone.
There is a workaround that can work, though.
set up an AIM account online.
in System preferences > mail, contacts, and calendars, enter your new AIM account.
in Contacts, on your friend's contact card, look for AIM. Enter their phone number right before that, with a +1 before it, and the area code: i.e., +11234567899.
This doesn't always work. Their cellular carrier has to cooperate with AIM. Some do, some don't. If it doesn't work, tell your friend to get an iPhone.

2010 macbook pro 13 in. keyboard does not illuminate when hitting f6 button

Just purchased a used 2010 Macbook pro. Keyboard does not illuminate when toggling f6 function button. Please advise. I've tried everything

If you try different outlets and that does not help, try to borrow a different charger and see if that works. If not, or you cannot borrow one, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an App,e store genius bar and have them tested.

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

Why the user experience on Bluetooth keyboard of iPad is different on keyboard of MacBook, especially when typing Chinese characters?

I am a Chinese in Taiwan, and I use a input method call "Changjei" (倉頡) to input chinese character. And thank for "Yahoo Kimo Input Method" found in Macbook Pro, so that I can use this method as same as typing in Windows PC. When I use bluetooth keyboard connect to iPad mini, it has "Changjei" input method also, but the user experience is different than typing in MacBook Pro! I often type the wrong word when typing in iPad, because some words need additional space key to avoid selection ( when selection appear usually need additional number key for selection ). Usually every chinese character only need one space key for confirm, and in iPad, some Chinese characters need two space key(this will cause problem), and others need one as usual. It slow me down greatly, and is not a smoothly and freely experience when expressing my idea by typing in iPad, and I often distract by these misleading situation when typing.
