Hi,

I am using a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 800 and it seems to only be working when its kept flat on a surface. If I keep it in my lap, or on a pillow, it doesn't work.

Any idea whats happening? Do I need to replace this keyboard?

Thanks!

What the above posts are saying.
Bluetooth keyboards are awful IMHO. They always tend to have connection problems.
You just need to see if the distance is increasing (receiver to keyboard obviously) when you are placing the keyboard on your lap than the distance when you're laying it flat. If distance is same then there shouldn't be any problem. Keyboards don't need a flat surface to work, they don't have a sensor like mice.
