maybe the keyboard is power hungry thus it appears unreliable, i have
seen that sort of problems on windows machines where on the front
only certain memory stick worked, some othere got slow & after
connecting them to the backside socket they worked on full speed
just something: can you borrow a mains powered usb hub & try the
keyboard with that one........James

Hi Justin,
I'm intrigued ... why are you using an external keyboard on your
PowerBook? I can 'sort of' understand why some people prefer to use
an external mouse instead of the trackpad, but an external keyboard
on a laptop?
Were you using the Dell keyboard in Leopard?
I think USB drivers aren't loaded until the OS starts up. Are you
allowing enough time for the operating system to fully boot up.
I wonder if it's not getting power quick enough to the USB port for
both keyboard and mouse?
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi wamuggers, got a small but frustrating problem - each time I
shut down my powerbook or disconnect the external keyboard, I have
to connect the keyboard 3 times before it recognises it and allows
me to type. The mac mouse which is connected to the keyboard works
no problem however.
I have a powerbook g4, latest os and it is a mac keyboard.
Interestingly I never had this problem with a dell keyboard I used
to plug in into the powerbook. Any suggestions gratefully
appreciated...
Best regards
Justin Davies
