Used wireless keyboard for several years....no problems. Current OS is Yosemite 10. All other peripherals work fine.
Problem....about every 30 seconds I lose connection. Get "connection lost" screen...and 5-10 seconds later, "connected" screen. I don't do anything but sit there..
Batteries are new and clean, etc. (The wireless trackpad works perfectly.)
Any ideas? Should I replace the keyboard?
iMac (20-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Does the same behavior occur on the OS that you were running prior to Yosemite?
Not that I recall. This seems to be a problem since Yosemite was released. It does not discriminate between applications....it goes out in Mail or Pages, etc.indicating that the problem is not related to any particular software. I have done various tricks such as restart, etc. Strangely, it has not dropped out on this particular message. Under normal circumstances, it would probably lose connection about the word "recent" then back and out again about "tricks", and "dropped out". Bottom line....I have typed this entire reply with no drop out.
Is it possible that the keyboard is paired to more than one Mac, and switched between the two? Yosemite has some known WiFi issues, and if your hardware has a combined WiFi/BT radio, it can create problems.
Interesting idea. There is a second Mac, complete with wireless board and mouse, located within 6 feet. I will take a look at the possibility of some kind of wireless interference even though the other Mac, board and mouse all seem to be working without problem. Thanks.
Keyboard goes on and off, on and off
