Have any of you guys had any problems with your wireless aluminum keyboard since the keyboard firmware upgrade? It said it fixes problems (I didn't have any problems with mine before the upgrade), now it stops functioning every now and then. I turn it off and back on and it works again, but it's annoying. Anybody else having this problem?

I am also experiencing similar problems. Both my keyboard and my mouse will randomly lock. Turning them off and then on only works some of the time, as does rebooting. I have tried re-loading the bluetooth disc, but that has not fixed it. This happens with fresh batteries, and with both devices within 1 ft. of the receiver. Any advice is appreciated -- about to give up and go back to being wired.

I was having those problems before the update, but the update seems to have fixed my problems.

I run OS X 10.5 in my mac book.
Once updated the wireless keyboard it did not switch on again.
I sent it to to the technicians and I received a Brand new keyboard, updated again when asked and surprise it happens again and again a new keyboard from Apple, the third time did not upgrade and it looks it works OK.
