When thinking more about the HP Wireless Keyboard Elite v2 I initially tried a few weeks ago, I thought about two things. What if I had a bad keyboard? What if there was an incompatibility with my environment? With the opportunity to try this into a new environment, I decided to try it again. So, I received a new one. 50% discount with free shipping was a good deal.

Now, here is something very interesting. The keyboard arrives yesterday. I tried it into a new environment. It is Windows 7 Professional on a Dell Optiplex. I plugged the universal tinny device in the USB and voilà, the keyboard started working immediately. I have been working with it for a few hours and it works at 100%. I didn't loose one key. It does not stick. The response time for the keypress is instant. Very smooth typing, not noisy and delete key is right where I need it, thus at the above of the up arrow key and not on the left. The enter key is also straight not having the L design. Thus, the backslash appears exactly where I need it.

Interested by this situation, I thought I would bring this keyboard at my house for the weekend and start trying it. Surprisingly, this one works. Thus, it seems to have been related to a bad keyboard I initially received. The environment does not seem to be a factor.

So far, I have tested thousands of key pressed in Outlook and in here, inside IE browser. I have not lost one single key stroke and the keyboard does not stick on some keys, as it did initially when it started to go crazy all over the screen.

I have not tested it in Word yet. However, it seems to be working well so far.

What triggered this is when I started to read reviews on the device. Very rarely would I see a negative review. So, it led as an incentive to try it again. This time was a good decision.
