"Sticky" keys with Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 Model 1014 running debian6-19-04-2012.img ("squeeze").
and 2012-06-18-wheezy-beta.img

Some keystrokes are repeated once,twice or many times; or don't register at all.
I get no "sticky" keys running archlinuxarm-29-04-2012.img

RPi configured thus:
Voltage between TP1 and HDMI Socket Body: 4.88V
Ethernet: cable connected and running
HDMI: cable connected and in use to PC DVI monitor
PSU: Masterplug Surge Protected USB Adaptor 2 x 1A USB Polished Black http://tinyurl.com/bng88eu
SDHC: Kingston 8Gb Class 4
USB1: Connected to Microsoft Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1 Model:1028
USB2: Not connected

Cheers,

Sticky keys with wireless Rapoo keyboard & mouse. Same effect as above but works fine running debian6-19-04-2012.img ("squeeze").

Same problem with a wired USB keyboard. Make unknown because it came with an iBuyPower system.

I reported that I got no "sticky" keys with archlinuxarm-29-04-2012.img.
That was true until I did a full system upgrade (pacman -Syu etc.)
Immediately afterward archlinux also had the "sticky" key problem.
I'll be reporting this to the archlinux folks if I can figure out where there bug reporting is.

I also had this happen once on quite a fast key repeat. This using a wired USB keyboard.

Rebooted and "it went away". I have been running apt-get upgrade, but can't say whether it was related.

I'll be interested to hear how many others suffer this problem when I attend the Raspberry Jam @ Cambridge next week.
It's a pity that nobody, anywhere, seems to be taking ownership of this keyboard issue.

@geep999: I look forward to meeting you there. The issue is certainly not being ignored. For any of you who have the issue only with newer firmware, it would be particularly helpful to step through the different firmware builds at https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware and find at which point the problem started happening.

I have one of the microsoft keyboards thats having the "sticky keys" issue and i'm more than happy to spend some time working out what the issue is if it just involves trying different firmwares (if somebody could point me in the right direction maybe!?).

Thanks
