What causes characters to repeat when I type into Safari using Zagg bluetooth keyboard?

My on screen keyboard works fine. characters don;t repeat in Pages...but, right now, I'm getting repeating letters and I can;t stop them. Wehn I hold delete key, they are erased. Is it Zagg? What's up?

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2

I have the Zagg KB and I do not have that condition.


I don't fully understand what's involved but I've found that a System Reset cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless:


Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.


A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.


Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

I have the Zaggmate for the iPad1 so on the assumption that the iPad2 version is virtually identical (electrically, it should be, just a small physical change for the iPad2,) be sure you have the keyboard fully charged. Sometimes the arrow keys "bounce" for me and it goes two or three characters over. But I seem to notice this when the keyboard hasn't been charged in several days. Zagg says you can go several weeks without recharging, but without anyway of knowing how much charge is left on the keyboard, I've found it more reliable to recharge every one or two weeks. So if the reset, as suggested, doesn't fix, then try keeping the keyboard charged more often.
