Low batteries can affect the functionality of laptop keyboards via some indirect circumstances, and wireless desktop keyboards. This kind of problem breaks down primarily into four areas: Low Battery, Physical Damage, Driver and Software issues, and Firmware Issues.
Like for example I press the play button and it goes to expose, or I press the volume button and it goes to the desktop. This is not a common problem, but when it happens, either some or all keys stop working (depending on the situation), or features of the keyboard such as backlighting may not work.Īpple Discussion poster " rikardo Burciaga" writes: "I am having trouble with the keyboard but only with some keys.
