I received my yesterday and the keyboard part works great, but the mouse pointer seems to flood
the system with erroneous messages.  Generally the cursor disappears to the lower left corner or
it causes application menu or other menus to popup. 

Did you have to install any different drivers or change anything after plugging in the keyboard?

p.s. I’m using the LOLA remote on the system although not positive but I would assume the wireless
keyboard will not interfere with the remote.
