Keyboard going to overwrite.

Why is it that when I am posting and I make a mistake when I return to correct it my keyboard go to overwrite instead of inserting. The next post, like this one, is no problem.

Not that. The keyboard is normal 99% of the time. It is only when posting with pPrune I have the trouble.

First thing I did, Milo, and it got WORSE! It kept disconnecting from the hub and re-connecting, so either a hardware failure or a conflicting wifi signal (researched).

Hours of work trashed outside last backup.

in device manager change the type of keyboard to a standard PS2, then restart the PC and see what happens. Should redetect as a standard USB keyboard

I'm not sure I dare persist. I think I'll ask the birthday team for a new one.
