Problem with keyboard: Key presses are sometimes ignored

I have the following problem with my keyboard:

when typing sometime (actually one or two times per line) key presses are ignored.
Especially if I start to type something in firefox, but the problem is not restriced to firefox and happens also with different apps.

The problem does not appear when using the keyboard with my windows laptop (using a kvm switch).
And it also happens with my other keyboard.

Have you checked by swapping the connections from your kvm switch to the 2 computers? It may be a flimsy contact or cable.

That sounds like a typical HW problem. Remove your KVM switch and test.
