whats up with the keyboard on the Key2?

At time I don't have auto capitalize to start my msgs. Holding down a letter won't capitalize even after holding for awhile. Double type is seldom but it's there

Did the update happen?? Kinda of annoying now

Start with a device restart.

Ok, I'll give it a go

I had that happen one time and a restart fixed it. I restart my key2 once a day now.

I have this problem since the Key2 has been released in Europe, a replacement device hasn't fixed the issue.
I already posted a couple of times in several threads regarding keyboard problems and it seems to be related to general software issues between the keyboard and Android 8.0

BlackBerry Mobile support told me, they are working on a fix, but couldn't tell me when this might be available. I got a keyboard software update a couple of days ago, but there was no improvement at all.

So far I guess we can only hope and wait for BlackBerry Mobile to fix the issues with the Oreo keyboard. It's a real shame, the typing problems are my most major gripe with this phone and they keep bothering me.

I'm really thankful that most early issues this phone tends to have are software related. Hardware faults like the bad adhesive behind the K1's screen are just so much more deceiving. Hopefully they do also improve the spacebar with later batches.

All things considered, it's not a disastrous problem. Just annoying mostly. Hopefully fixed soon tho

Key2 has a hardware issue, the PKB. Many have report the spacebar clicking differently than other keys. And for last few days my D F E R T G H have bee behaving weirdly. The clickiness has suddently changed from the other keys.

How different are those keys compared to the others?

By nature, I don't think any PKB ever can have EXACTLY the same travel, clickiness and sound on each and every key.

If it's bad enough to warrant an exchange, then go for it I guess

I only have this problem with the quick reply box in the CrackBerry app, but in all other apps it works fine.

Odd. I mostly notice it in Textra whilst texting

Yes, i have also noticed that problem but only in Textra and CrackBerry app.
Not sure why this happens there and not in the Hub...
