This is a problem I have been living with for months. The only reason I haven't asked earlier is because I haven't had reason to.
Here is the deal. I have a Logitech optical mouseman and a Microsoft Natural Pro(The one with all the quick keys across the top). My problem is only seen when playing games. It doesn't matter what type of game, randomly after holding a key down on the keyboard it will get stuck(not the actual key) and I will continue to move whichever way the key I was pressing moved me. It really sucks because it usually happens when I am strafing in FPS games and it gets me stuck going on direction and the only way to fix it is to bring the console down. I can die and it will continue to move me in whichever direction. This will happen with any key. It seems that for some reason after you hold down a key for a while it decides to continue sending the signal even when you let go of the key.
I would return the keyboard but I don't think it is a defect in my keyboard. My friend who has a normal Microsoft natural keyboard had the exact same problem. He solved his problem by moving his keyboard from the PS2 port to the USB port. That fixed his problem. I however am not so lucky. It doesn't matter what port I plug the keyboard into. The same thing happens. For all the people that might think it is an OS problem, it isn't. It originally started happening on Windows 2000. A couple weeks ago I installed Windows XP. Same exact thing. I have tried going with the special drivers for my keyboard and using the standard Windows keyboard drivers.
I have tried different combinations of putting my mouse on PS2 and keyboard on USB and vice versa.
Help?!?!
