    Anyone have any problems with the sensitivity of the keys? I have messed with the settings in the control panel but no matter how low I set the repeat and sensitivity toggle, characters still inadvertently repeat on almost every single word. Any suggestions?

    Yep, I too get the double input every once in awhile. It seems to really like to repeat "u"s and "o"s, as often ill get "youutuube.coom" or things like that. A little annoying, but its manageable.

    that used to happen to me a lot on my 6860, but it stopped now. I don't know if i just got used to it or it fixed itself after using it for so long.

    If you are getting double letters, go to keyboard settings and adjust the repeat delay and rate.

    I tried adjusting the repeat and rate but it still repeats like crazy! LOL - I have to correct every other word - so annoying!
