Hey my new iMac CD 17" arrived today with the bluetooth keyboard. I'm disappointed with its performance. I type fast, about 60 wpm or so. When I type, the text comes in laggy. It feels delayed. I have also experienced this with an Apple bluetooth keyboard on a Powermac G5. Is this a known issue? How do I fix it.

It happens across the board in any app.

I've only had this problem happen a couple of times. To fix it, I simply switch off the keyboard, and than switch it back on again. After this simple fix, everything seems to run smooth again. Seems to work everytime for me.

Hey it worked like you said. Cool. I wonder what causes it.

Ok this is starting to really annoy me. The keyboard gets laggy every single time I leave it alone for a number of hours. Then I'll come back to my computer and it will misbehave again and I have to turn it off and back on.

I, too, type 60+ WPM and have never had this problem... Same hardware setup as you.
