T8 RC12 remote

Am on my 3rd remote now as ghosting a problem with each 1 (any direction you press on it, it just keeps going and going in that direction) anyone know what's happening or of a possible fix?

Probably button get stuck at that command.Did you tried to change batteries??

Yeah always changing batteries as use rechargers, 3 rc12's with the same problem.

@sean99 - Are you still having problems? If 3 remotes in a row have had the same issue, I'm thinking there is some other factor in the mix causing this. If you plug the USB dongle into a PC or Mac, does the same issue occur? Can you try (just temporarily at least) using normal 1.5V non-rechargable batteries (a new pack of Duracell Ultra or similar)?

Thanks SS I am using a 2ft extension usb cable and plugging the usb receiver part into it on a lower shelf away from the T8 at the moment. The problem hasn't totally gone but is heaps better

I'd definitely also experiment with non-rechargables, you might find the total 0.6V drop was causing issues when using rechargables. If there are voltage regulators in the remote, it may be outside of their tolerance.
