The period or coma button (to the right of the "M"),I push it once andget a period or coma and about a half second later three more pop up. I cant figure it out, is it a MS Word thing? Also, this doesnt happen with any other key.

I'm pretty sure it's a sync issue with the keyboard...either the keyboard is sending 3 requests everytime you hit that button, or the reciever on the computer is interpretting it that way. Try re-synching the keyboard or changing the broadcast channel if that is an option on your specific model.

+1, clean the dried spunk out of your keyboard

I dont think the keys are stuck. Is the "reset" the same as re-synching? I'll try this when I get home. Thanks.

If the problem only occurs in Word, then try hunting down the Autocorrect feature and either disable or modify the functionality of the period. This used to be in the Tools menu of word. I can try and verify this when I go into work on Monday.

Look for anything that adds elipses.
