    Hello all,

    I've got a couple of issues with my W700 keyboard and was wondering whether it's common and if there're fixes for it:

    1) some key combinations produce a beep, but no letters (well, the letters sometimes come sometimes not). I type fast and it's annoying that I have to slow down and also listen to the beep. I found (via Google) how to turn the system beep off, but that doesn't rectify the initial problem really - why is it beeping in the first place?

    2) second issue is with the numeric keypad, it doesn't repeat more than 3 characters at a time when you hold down any of its keys (numbers or arrows).

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Dennis
