The unified dongle is plugged into that hub about 6" from both the keyboard and mouse so its usb-2 all the way. Extremely widely used here as a wireless keyboard and mouse config, I use it on nearly all my machines because the key design of a k360, with its square sided keys, is much less prone to having a key jammed down by errant swarf. I bought this combo specifically to test if it was a k360 problem, but this combo is a k270, and with its tapered sides keytops, will never be plugged into a working machine capable of making swarf. A jammed key is way to dangerous and these will jam. And this board is bigger, so my typu rate is 10x what it is when I'm typing on a k360. Muscle memory and short fat fingers...
Because its handier than bottled beer, right here in front of me, its also the home of my card reader when its in use. The mouse keeps on working, with data from the same usb dongle. This tells me the data path to the kernel is ok, and that the problem is both somewhat uptime related, seems to be about 4 days for the regular kernel, less than a day for the fully pre-emptable build I started out useing in the the september 2018 testing iso, and exclusive to the keyboard servicing in the input module of the kernel. > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
