My replacement tablet 7130 i5 vpro build date 02/24/2014 with the slim keyboard has not had a single keyboard disconnect. Also no processor lags and no ghost clicks.
This may be a problem localized to the Atom (5130) but I have heard reports of 7000-series units having it as well. Good to know yours is working though :)
I have recently bought 3 Venue Pro 5130 devices for the office and all three have had problems with crashing regularly and the keyboards (slim and mobile) disconnecting. I have updated the BIOS and various other bits to the most recent versions so hoping this can be sorted out soon as have never experienced such instability with new machines before.
What I can say is though, that the Dell staff have been as helpful as possible and always good at calling me back to try to resolve the various issues I've had.
Just reiterating Kabutar's original question really; any updates on keyboard/system stability fixes...etc?
Dell have been silent as a grave on this, maybe hoping we'll eventually just go away. Doubt that we'll see any more fixes for the keyboard.
My current work around is putting the tablet into hibernate instead of standby. This will probably wear out the SSD, but what do I care, 3 year warranty :-)
