I attached an external keyboard to my surface book 2, windows 10. FIrst I tried with a wireless Bluetooth one, but once every 5 minutes some of the keys keeps repeaaaaaaaating randomly. So I returned that keyboard and got a different one, this time one with a dongle. Same problem. I plugged in the USB dongle in different places, a hub, a second hub, directly the the computer. Same problem. So I got a wired keyboard. Same problem again. Therefore this must a driver/windows issue. Any suggestions how to tackle it? many thanks

I have had this issue precisely on my Windows 10 system amd trawled the web for answers. The answers are inadequate, theoretical guesses - and miss the point. My problem was resolved by switching off the extra unused networking capabilities associated with my HP Office jet printer - Bluetooth and WiFi Direct. HP pumps out frequencies looking for connections every so often and that activity potentially overwhelms the Bluetooth bandwidth. The repeated key syndrome happens when a key signal is being successfully sent but not acknowledged and it is resent (potentially a series of times). Sometimes it is the sending signal that is interrupted and so nothing happens. From daily instances of this problem I went straight to zero (for 4 weeks now) by turning off HP WiFi Direct and HP Bluetooth (using simply regular WiFi only for the printer). If you do not use an HP printer have a look at what else you may have generating competing Bluetooth signals and try turning off or restricting those devices.
