Acer Keyboard - many keys at once problem

[zakkeaton]

Hi.

Remote: 15-1984 (extender 3 - did it 1.5yrs ago)
Device: Acer Keyboard

1st I learned the arrow/number keys. The remote had difficulty but eventually it worked. But I'm using extender 3 and can't use my learned keys. My IR file containing my learned buttons are at the end of this message.

2nd I found the Acer Keyboard upgrade but when I press any of the buttons the computer receives many many keys all at once. I can't seem to send just one key.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
-Zak

My best guess is that the release commands are required. Most Keyboard systems don't require the release part of the signal and most of our keyboard upgrade files don't provide the release part (because it requires manually tweaking the protocol).

Hopefully Jon or Rob will take a look at this case, I think they are the ones who recently worked on adding the release part to keyboard protocols and should remember it better than I do.

Please don't paste files into posts, instead load them into the Diagnosis Area and then provide a link, like this: Acer-Keyboard.txt.

Also, it's important to quote the correct model number of the remote, as a slight error in the model number can often get us looking at completely the wrong remote. The correct model number for your remote is 15-1994.

Jon is the one who has done all the work with keyboards, so I'll let him tackle this one.
