Hello everybody.
I was wandering if anybody else have had this problem, search doesn't seem to indicate so.
My wizard keyboard has recently started to act up. When I type 'e' for example it types 'he' instead, same goes for 'h'. When I type 'j' it types 'jr'. It might be hardware problem, maybe contacts got squashed together or something like that. I have tried reinstalling different roms with no luck. By the way it stopped doing it for couple of days and now it does it again. Thanks for all the help in advance
-Greg.
Also its not only e and j that have the problem, but almost every letter has some kind of wrong action.

I tried seaching through different threads, but couldn't find the same topic, so please forgive me if I indeed am repeating an already listed thread...
I'm extremly happy with my TyTn, but one thing which is DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY NUTTS AND UP THE WALL, is the so called "lazy keys" on it's qwerty pad. Sometimes is doesn't respond and other times it doubles/triples the letter..
Are any of you having the same problem and do any of you have a solution to this?..
Any helpful answers would be highly appreciated!..

I am having the same issues. CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS?
I have got the same problem but have learnt to live with it but a fix would be great.
mine does it too but i think it's a memory problem. when i begin typing it will not show anything for a few seconds and then BAM there all the text is.
my solution is simple.. i know it will eventually show what i typed. so when it starts to lag.. just keep typing man and it will catch up.
that case is OK. I'm referring to a key being totally unresponsive unless I press really hard or somtimes a key kinda "sticks" and doubles/triples the letter...
It's stopping any quick typing as you finish a word only to see that it has doubled or missed out a letter in the word!!!
If anyone has a solution, even if it means taking the dang divice apart..
i took mine apart the other day for this problem
it looked all fine
i cleaned out the membrane and the board that the membrand touches
worked better for a good 2 hours
and then right back to the problem....
we need a permanent fix lol
my c button is unresponsive now. It seemed fine using Black Majik but its started playing up on Black Satin.

Fellas, I've switched from the Black Majik rom to the Black Satin rom and now all of my kes are responsive as on my old device. I don't know if this is a permanent fix since I've only had this rom for a week or so, but I will update the forum in another week.

I can understand different ROMs affecting the overall responsiveness of the keyboard. However it does not make sense to me that different ROMs would affect the responsiveness of certain keys only.
I would certainly urge folks to be sure their problem is one of specific individual keys only before attempting the physical fix in my post above. In other words be very sure the problem is NOT one of a laggy keyboard response due to ROM/software.

Just wanna share my test....
I got lazy keys on my Dopod 838 Pro also after upgrading to official Dopod WM6 ROM. At this time I had more than 1500 SMS stored. Since the lazy keys were affecting on SMS/Email writing and not on other apps, I was thinking whether the problem is related somehow to this huge number of stored SMS.
I deleted all my SMS and directly afterwards the keyboard is responsive again.
Can't validate this as I need to wait for my SMS to grow again to see if the lazy keys problem returns... but maybe you can check from yours if you have huge number of stored SMS/email.
I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with individual keys wearing out on the 6800. Three of my keys have become a little difficult to use. When I press them they act as if they have not been pressed. I have to press the many times before they will work.
I've tried googling but the only problem people seem to be having is the "symbol problem". My problem is different from this - it is a mechanical problem. The phone is only 6 months old and I use it regularly but not excessively.
I'm thought about taking the phone apart to see if there is anything that I can do.
I have the exact same issue, mostly with the space bar... some keys would take pushing it several before it works or sometimes I would press the key once and I get two letters, for example if I press E once I get EE.
Let me know if you find a solution for this, it's extremely annoying.
sounds like normal wear and tear to me. if you use a button alot, eventually its going to start working less efficiently than it used to. there are a bunch of good (free) full screen keyboards that you can use to give your keyboard a rest. taking apart your phone is a really bad idea. if you've only had it for 6 months, its still under 1 yr manufacturer warranty. send it in and get a new one.
thanks so much for the quick response, this might be a stupid question, but how do I exchange my phone? It's a Sprint Mogul.
probably the most direct way is to head into a Sprint store. and try your best to talk to them like you know what youre talking about, so they dont try to jerk you around. when i was using the xv6700, i got 9.. yes 9 replacement phones on my manufacturers warranty. if there is nothing to show that YOU have damaged the keys, they have to replace the phone for you.
try this, it fixed my key misses and repeats, but i have to hit the keys a bit harder.
Unfortunately, 'titan_key.cab' does not fix my problem

Thanks for the file...unfortunately, the problem persists on my Mogul.
Has anyone found a solution that makes the hardware keyboard perform as it did BEFORE the last official ROM upgrade was released into the wild. Installation of that [allegedly] tested and approved HTC/Sprint file coincided with my beginning to experience my KB problems.
HELP?!
So the issue is as i'm sure you already know...anytime you would like to use the two keys at the same time in a game or whatever one key alway overwrites the other. Has anyone found a work around for this yet? I've already bound half the commands to the soft keys and the other half to the keyboard but what a pain! If anyone has a fix i would love it if you could share it with me.
Thanks.
I spent some time looking into the same issue quite awhile ago. There wasn't a fix then and I haven't heard of anything in the mean time. If you do find anything please post it.

Hello,
I hope my explanation is good enough to understand my problem:
When I am typing on the hardware-keyboard, I often get stuck at the edge of button "A".
This happens likely after pressing "Shift" and sliding my finger towards "A" or the middle of the keyboard.
It seems that the edge of the button "A" is not smooth or flat enough and probably the overlapping between "shift" and "A" increases this problem.
With overlapping I mean this:
Alt.......A
_____|___|
¯¯¯¯¯¯|
Shift
Has anybody else had this problem while typing? Or is there a fix to avoid bending the edge of the button over and over?
Thanks for any help!

PS: I am posting this here, not in Q&A, because I think that there is no simple answer for this.
No problem here, but I have sometimes more than one letter with one pressing of the key. Like ... Milessstonne
And ... I have now CM72 and QERTY instead of QWERTZ!
Dunno which ROM are you using, so I dunno if that is right solution for you - but did you try Keyboard debouncer from M2T? It solve this problem, especially the "doublepress" issue.
I had this issue also. Everytime I was writing something, it looked like this:
Helllo, how aare yyoou...
etc. It was terrible, but KB Debouncer solved it (and it should solve stuck issue also)
Just give it a try if you can. And if you can't, then consider trying another ROM, because for me this was quite annoying issue
You got my problem wrong.
My finger always gets stuck at the key edge.
It is no software issue or semething like that.
Ahh... I should read more carefully. Sorry both of you. My mistake
I don't have problem, you described, but the keyboard is a lot worse, than on my old 9500 Communicator - but hey, there was more space on 9500, than on M2, so no complains
I am just afraid that I damage my "A" button some day
Weird that this problem isn't more common.
Maybe I just have some sort of assembly fault with my keyboard.
My old HTC Hermes was also equipped with a "better" keyboard but it was also a real big rock of a phone

Sorry, for offtopic, but this is my problem, were can I find this debouncer? Market? Download?
@playdo ... yes indeed, I think your keyboard is damaged! Sorry for that.

HELLO EVERYONE
i am using a i ball usb keyboard which yesterday started giving problem
some keys doesn't work i don't know why but some are working so please tell me the solution
Sigh...
Which keys? Is it always the same ones? Does the keyboard work better on other machines? Do they work if you, say, press harder or wiggle them around a bit? Have you even tried unplugging and reconnecting it, or rebooting the computer, yet? What machine are you using this with? Have you tried any other keyboards, or indeed other USB devices,w ith that machine? If it has multiple USB ports, have you tried switching to a different one? Is the cable damaged in any way? Was anything spilled on the keyboard? What style of keyboard is it (no, I'm not going to research this for you, you're the one trying to get *us* to spend our time helping *you*)? Has it ever had problems before? How long have you been using it? Have you searched the Internet for anybody else with this problem?
I don't know what the solution is, but I can tell you the first problem you need to solve: you write crummy bug reports / requests for help. Your entire post boils down to
"It doesn't work. Tell me how to fix it"
and I was sorely tempted to respond with a simple "No." because you've given me absolutely nothing to work with, here.
