keyboard over-sensitive,typing rapidly scrambles letters,jumps cursor throughout document-Aspire5532

promicarus

My Aspire 5532 scrambles letters when typing rapidly, or using anything more than a very soft touch on keys. The problem is worst on notepad ap, but the problem occurs in any document ap, however only very rarely while typing into an online format/website, especially if key-touch is hard. Windows 7. ,This has been the case since I've used it, for approx. 3 months (used, a gift from a friend). I downloaded .Touchfreeze.exe, and run it always-on, which has improved the problem somewhat, but not enough to make typing acceptable.Thanks!

Hi@promicarus,

To change your keyboard settings:

1. Open the ‘Ease of Access Settings’ by pressing the Windows logo key+ U on the keyboard.
2. On the ‘Ease of Access’ settings screen, scroll down and select ‘Keyboard’ in the left-hand column.
3. On the right of the screen, scroll down and under the ‘Filter Keys’ heading click or tap the On/Off toggle switch labelled ‘Ignore or slow down brief or repeated keystrokes and adjust keyboard repeat rates’.
   
4. When ‘Filter Keys’ are enabled you will see the following customisable options:
   
   • Allow the shortcut key to start Filter Keys
     This option is often enabled by default
   • Show the Filter Keys icon on the taskbar:
     This adds a shortcut to the task bar for accessing the Filter Key settings.
   • Beep when keys are pressed or accepted:
     Enable this option if you would like to hear a sound when a key is pressed.
   • Turn on Bounce Keys:
     This option allows the device to ignore a keystroke when you press the same key more than once with a set time limit.
   • Turn on Slow Keys and Turn on Repeat Keys:
     These options allow the device to ignore accidental keystrokes according to time limits you set.
