Keyboard and mouse going nuts, what do I do?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Recently I replaced a Logitech G19 keyboard and MX Revolution mouse I had broken by spilling liquid on them. First I replaced the mouse with a MS Sidewinder. I installed the mouse and drivers with no problem. While waiting for my replacement keyboard I used a Dell keyboard with no problems. Then a few days later I replaced the keyboard with a Saitek Eclipse keyboard and uninstalled the G19 drivers (the Saitek did not come iwth and does not have proprietary divers).

Now here’s the completely bizarre part: Every once and awhile the keyboard goes crazy and starts re-typing the LAST thing I had written with the temporary Dell – KEYSTROKES AND ALL. Like I will be on Yahoo and it will start populating the search box with what I last typed with the Dell, including backspaces and all. Simultaneously, the wireless Sidewinder will lock up the L1 button so that if I bring my cursor over anything it will think I double clicked and will open whatever the xurosr hovers over.

It’s like having a ghost in my computer. Like I said, I had no problems with the Dell keyboard yet now the last thing I typed on it keeps getting involuntarily typed and my mouse goes haywire. Is there a way to clear those keystrokes from the memory. Do I possible have a virus that Avast is not catching?
