Apple Wireless Keyboard problems

[brownbunny]

I'm having a couple of issues with the apple wireless keyboard.

Intermittently, a key will stick (not physically). For example, I'll be typing, and thiiiiiiis will start to happennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Also, it seems to cut out frequently, and it takes a good 5 to 10 seconds to become respsonsive again.

Is this a bluetooth range issue (Surely not, the keyboard is only 2-3m away from the Macbook), or do I need a new keyboard?

Thanks

Same issue x2

My old one started doinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn <- yep

My old one started doing the same thing last week after working perfectly for a year. I just received the one I'm typing on from Amazon. It's been out of the box for less than 2 hours and, as unintentionally demonstrated above, is already acting up.

It's paired with a 1.83 Dual-Core Mac Mini. Also, I'm currently at work (paired with an identically spec'd Mini as at home), so environmental interference seems to be ruled out.
