Dell keyboard SK# 8135 problems

Question

My wired keyboard (Dell Model # 8135) is not working properly.  I have a Dell XPX 210- only a year old.  I can be typing along and suddenly it will place different letters than those I am typing.  EG:  I click on letter B and letter W appears instead.  I thought it was a defecctive keyboard, was still under Dell warranty and received a replacement of the same keyboard ( This was a refurbished keyboard, don't know if the original one was or not, got it with my new pc)  It was suggested that I see if there are any updated drivers for this keyboard... can't find any? Checked in Device manager:  HID Keyboard- Driver Version: 5.1.2600.2825- date is 7/01/01  Shows device is working properly If I do a restart it will start working properly again for awhile, but then the same thing happens. Do I need to give up on this keyboard & buy something else?  If so, open to recommendations.  This may be a ssilly question:  But if I were to purchasse a Micrsoft brand keyboard, will driver/software updates for an MS keyboard be available through Microsoft Updates as well? Thank you for any help you may have.

No drivers for the SK-8135 usb keyboard, plug and play device.   I think I would try a generic usb keyboard to see if it does the same thing, before blaming the keyboard as the problem.

Thank you for your reply.  this is the second keyboard (but same model) which is why I figured it has to be the keyboard.  Guess I will just buy different keyboard.  I have tried plugging this one into a different USB port, thinking maybe there is something wrong with that port, but problem still surfaces.
