Keyboard randomly drops keys and leaves a key pressed
I am new to Linux desktops. I have installed two linux distros and I always have the same problem.
My keyboard (SteelSeries Apex 350) get constant key drops. Is not a hardware problem as I have Windows installed in this computer too and the keyboard works flawlessly. I also have tried to plug it to my laptop and it works too.
I have also tried to switch my keyboard layout but it doesn't help.
The Ubuntu installation is the lastest release, almost completely clean.

It is not a hw/bios problem, since everything works fine on win!

Does a regular $10 USB keyboard have the same problem or only the $150 Apex Steel 350 keyboard with 1ms response time, 16 million colors and 22 macro keys?
