Hi All

I saw this problem on other forums. Anyone found a solution for the freezing k'board?.

When I hit the caps under windows, the green caps light comes on and then you cannot turn it off and the k'board doesnt work anymore. Only way is to remove batteries and put them back on.

It works fine under OSX. And please dont post back if your only comment is: Windows is crap, use OSX or anything like that.

Thanks and Merry X-mas

Well that is why we switched to mac...sorry couldn't resist.

you may want to try reinstalling the keyboard driver, not positive if it will help but it does sound like a driver crapping itself to me. give it a shot you have nothing but 5min to lose. Let us know if it helps.

Yes, I have noticed this too. It is really annoying when playing games on XP... I accidentally hit the Caps Lock key, and my keyboard stops receiving input.
