Bluetooth keyboard has sticky keys after waking up from sleep!

My Apple wireless keyboard is doing the same thing. The keys are sticking so when I press one it is as if I'm holding the key down. Using it with an Ipad 2. Fresh batteries. No clue what to do.

I also have this problem.

I have had the previous generation wireless keyboard for almost 3 years and only started getting this waking from sleep sticky keys issue upon the purchase of a new macbook pro this year. This would suggest that the problem lies in a recent software update? Perhaps something to do with bluetooth?

Regardless i hope there is a fix because it is driving me up the wall...

I have been having problems with repeating keys on my iPad 2. I purchased a Zaggmate keyboard case which I love, but the last two weeks, it started repeating keys - not just one key - any key. The last letter I type before pausing gets repeated and will fill an entire page with that letter.

I tried hooking up my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and the same thing happened. This leads me to believe that the issue lies with the iPad and not the keyboards. I've rebooted my iPad and it seems to be accepting the Apple bluetooth keyboard now without repeating keys. In one second, I'm going to fire up the Zaggmate keyboard and see what happens - stay tuned....

Well, I've fired up the Zaggmate and it appears the reboot of the iPad has solved the issue.

Very strange and MORE THAN A LITTLE IRRITATING!

Have had same issue with a ZAGG keyboard case. Rebooting iPad and reconnecting keyboard on bluetooth settings fixed it. Had keyboard for months with no problem, and have had iOS6 for a month or so as well. Hard to identify any trigger, but then these things are way quirkier than any manufacturer or software developer ever wants to admit. I would assume that if it is widespread and/or gets worse, the issue will be addressed, as it would be a huge headache for 3rd party accessory manufacturers and dealers. In any case, try rebooting, that's fixed it (for good?) for me.

I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.

Not that that'll help you guys with the iPad issues, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

I have this bluetooth key sticking issue from time to time as well.

From what I can figure out, it has to do with interferance with bluetooth either from my iPhone in close proximity to the computer and (more so) when my macbookpro is in clamshell mode, connected to external monitors. This has a major effect of typing. if i open the macbook it stocks the sticking of the keyboard.

To sorta "hack" the situation, I have placed a small magnet physically on top of my keyboard near the bottom right side where the magnetic trigger for sleep is, this fools the laptop into thinking the screen is closed and it turns off, entering clamshell mode while leaving the screen open. This allows for better bluetooth reception.

Hope this helps someone, I've been dealing with this issue for a logn time.
