I've been experiencing a weird phenomenon from my laptop keyboard for a while now, and wondered if anyone else had experienced the same thing.
I'm a fast typist - 60wpm on regular alphanumeric text - so I wonder if I've reached some kind of limit for my keyboard. What happens is that every once in a while - actually, a dozen or so times a day - while I am typing a passage the cursor will jump back several words or even up to a previous sentence and insert what I'm typing into that section. I have to stop, delete, reposition the cursor and start over.
I've got an Intel Core2 Duo processor running at 2.20GHz, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the laptop itself is several years old. Might the keyboard membranes be starting to go? Or should I be looking at my Control Panel to change some of the parameters?
