Q: Both, spacebar and delete key, not working post low battery ..

.. As the subject heading suggests here above, neither my main spacebar nor delete key are working, following my having swapped in a new set of batteries where considering my keyboard. (Per a more basic quick check, all other keys a apparently working.)

Fairly disconcerting.

— I'm typing this on an older one.

Any advice. ?

Appreciate your time.

yeh, hey Thanks Mario.

Appreciate your response here above.

.. In fact with my having done a fairly extensive search, I'd found these resources—along with several others related to by basic problem—on my own.

— With none having pointed to a fix with trial, I've gone ahead an purchased a new keyboard.

Interesting that I would have the exact same problem. The only two keys that do not work are the spacebar and the delete key.

HI Richard,
thanks for for the reply, so I assume you've had no trouble since you bought a new one?

Well at least the keyboard has lasted longer than the Magic Mouse.
