G51VX-RX05 Keyboard issues

I just bought a G51VX-RX05 from Bestbuy recently, upgraded to Windows 7 and installed the necessary drivers etc. Everything runs fine, but I'm experiencing some issues, while typing sometimes my keystrokes aren't registered on the computer. I would be typing something, a word or a entire sentence, and look back to see a bunch of missing letters. I tested the keyboard, all the keys work fine but some times it just doesn't register the key strokes, wondering if there is a problem with one of the drivers that I should be looking out for?

When pressing the keystrokes individually it works fine, I can't figure out what's happening. It happens on MSN, other applications while typing out sentences.

 

A while ago many ASUS laptops had a problem with the synaptics touchpad drivers that was causing keystrokes to be missed by the computer. The solution was to run with the default Windows touchpad driver, and uninstall the Synaptics one.

It's a longshot, but the same thing may be happening here.

More generally, try seeing in task manager if there is no process taking too much CPU, and give DPC latency checker a try, too (google for it).

 

I had been doing lots of research about G51 before purchase. One thing I believe I read somewhere was that there is an important driver for the keyboard. Go to Asus support and find "Keyboard Device Filter Utility" for your model probably under the "others" category. Post back if that helps. Curious to know if not installing it would cause your issue. I did a clean install of Win 7 x64 ultimate and did install that among other drivers and have no keyboard issue such as you describe.

 

I did install that driver doing a fresh win 7 6 bit install.

 

Anyone? I'm still experiencing this hideous annoyance. What should I look for?

 

Attaching a screenshot of what's under Keyboards in Device manager. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Well I looked into my drivers under my keyboard and I have the following drivers. I noticed that our drivers differ, and I don't have the filter driver. Maybe that is somehow messing up what you're typing? Try uninstalling that and seeing if that makes any sort of difference. I am able to type just fine without having that installed, so that may be your problem.

 

I uninstalled it, and I'm still stuck with the same issue. The keyboard/touch pad quality on this laptop is really cheap!

I have a toshiba, and typing on there is a breeze, the touch is amazing. But the ASUS keyboard and touchpad is really bad.

 

I feel your pain man...I'm having the exact same problem with my G73. I'm thinking it's a combination of really terrible keyboard hardware and sone sort of driver issue. It sucks because I love the computer otherwise...but a goo keyboard is really pretty essential.

 

IIRC It was you had to uninstall chinese language support or something like that. Once that was uninstalled...that solved all the keyboard missing type errors.

Again..that's only if IIRC

Hope it helps

I have the same problem (and drivers)as the OP. Was this ever resolved?

 

Never got it resolved, now my keyboard is having troubles with the M key and Enter key.
