Hello, I purchased the new white wired mac keyboard (with the usb ports on the back). It works fine with my Mini but if I have it plugged into my PC, it'll randomly disconnect then reconnect. I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue or if there are some drivers I should download and where I could download them?

I have my Microsoft wireless mouse plugged into the back of the keyboard and the keyboard is plugged into a belkin 4 port usb hub, with port 1 going to my mini and port 2 going to my pc.

I had an older mac keyboard (black with usb on the sides) that came with my PM G4, and that worked perfectly fine with this same setup (usb hub). That is, until I spilled water on it.

Any ideas? It's rather frustrating?

Also, sometimes it'll print out a bunch of letters when I only type one. For instance, if I type the letter 'r', it might type 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' as if I were holding the key down. This happens infrequently.
