I bought the Logitech MX3100 keyboard and mouse pack a few months ago and love it. It actually gave me better results at CS/DoD over my Intellimouse (corded) due to precision and "comfort" making me shoot better.
Recently however it's been giving me headaches. Funnily enough, it's the keyboard and not the mouse that has been troubling me. I say "funnily enough" because forums all over the internet are chock full of "wireless is sucky" debates relating to gaming mice. But I've never heard about wireless keyboards having problems.
My most significant trouble comes when playing World of Warcraft. The two main issues I have are:
Second question, is this likely a keyboard issue? Does this inherently happen with wireless technology or is it my keyboard (lx/mx700)? Is it battery troubles? This would surpise me since I have replaced them twice in the last couple of weeks "just in case", and Logitech's software says my battery levels are fine. Could it be a driver issue? I've got the latest drivers.
Thirdly, could this be at all related to lag, as in "ping" lag and internet speed? Maybe my commands aren't hitting the server quickly so I keep walking, for example. Though this doesn't really make sense since I imagine I update the server where I am, rather than the server keeps moving me until it tells me where I am.
Lastly, could this be a software issue unique to WoW? I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this, and I notice when using other software such as Word, I notice the occasional characters being "dropped" from my input.
Any assistance would be appeciated!

My most significant trouble comes when playing World of Warcraft. The two main issues I have are:
- When I'm running forward my character stops every now and then, and I have to lift my fingers off the keyboard and push "forward" again. This is a major PITA when running from monsters since they catch you and has caused me to die more than a couple of times.
- Sometimes the opposite happens, in that when I release a key, like back, rotate left or rotate right, my character will keep walking/the camera will keep panning after I've released the key. The really odd thing is, if I see my character walking backwards, for example, and I walk forwards to "counter" this effect so I don't walk backwards off a cliff, he'll keep walking backwards like he's moonwalking until he gets his "extra" steps in. Same with the rotating camera... it'll spin in circles with me trying to point where I want before I just have to take my hands off the keyboard, let my character do a 360, or walk backwards, and then point where I really want him to go. This has caused me to wander off cliffs on occasion
