Sony Vaio all in one - keyboard problems

The wireless keyboard that came with my new PC is total rubbis. I've changed the batteres, so it's not that. It misses letters out all the time, and whatever I type, I have to go back and correct it all oer the place It's driving me absolutely mad.

Ay sggestions please?

AAAaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh

It's a common problem with wireless keyboards I gave up in the end and bought a laptop before I smashed something.

I kow what you mean, Shirley. Fortunatey, I kept the old one which although wireless, never gave me the problems this one does. I ma have to swap back........

I tried a wireless keyboard once....
never again.

I tried a few Vicki including one very expensive one which were all pants, I went back to a plug in before getting the laptop, not much use to you though if it's a brand new pc.
Our pc was a dust magnet and and I seemed to be forever pulling it all out for cleaning etc. the final straw was when the monitor decided to give up the ghost, instead of replacing the monitor I bought a big laptop that does everything the pc did and can do it anywhere.

Is it an infra-red wireless keyboard or a bluetooth one?

If IR, then you must have the 'dongle' thingy in sight of the keyboard - they need to be able to see each other.

If bluetooth it shouldn't matter.

The old one was IR, so I'm guessing tis one's bluetoth. How can I tell Azz?
