Wireless Keyboard keeps losing connection, anybody else?

Hello all.

In the last several days my wireless keyboard (aluminum) keeps dropping it's connection. I can understand if there's a power-down-if-not-used-function built in. But this is happening while I am typing, or if I stop using it for, say, 30 seconds, e.g., while searching this forum for a similar post, the "lost connection" window popped up three times.

It's NOT the batteries. I used to use the widget "Mighty Monitor" but I found that it was not giving the same information as the Sys Prefs keyboard and mouse battery status. My sys prefs say that both keyboard and mouse still have 75% full batteries.

It's NOT the distance, the keyboard is 18" from the Mac.

It's NOT other bluetooth devices...I don't have any, except my Blackberry, and BT is turned off.

I have just installed the latest updates, including one for the Aluminum iMAC. Could this be the problem?

Anybody????

All the best,

Steve
