Not sure if this should go into gameplay or Pc/technical issues
I have to issues with my keyboard.
1. Whenever I type in the chatbox, and then go back to control my ship, I need to tap my windows key (or alt-tab to another program) in order to be able to use my number keys when I get back into the game. I tie my torpedoes to the number 1 and 2 keys, and when I forget to bring the startmenue up before I battle starts, I can't fire my torpedoes unless I click the torpedo buttons. This is kind of weird to me, and I wonder if it's me or the game acting up!

It only happens after writing in the chat box. Firing other things with spacebar, bringing out my inventory etc works great, so I know my focus have moved from the chatbox back to the game controls.
2. My second issue is that my computer BSOD on me sometimes in the game. It never happens when I use my computer otherwise except playing the game. I think it is also connected to the keyboard somehow, not sure how. It usually happens when the keyboard's been idling for a while, for instance while hanging out at spacedock trying on outfits, customizing my ship etc. I hit done and if then want to bring up my crew console or inventory, I hit K or I and my computer gets the BSOD. This issue never occurs when I'm using the keyboard frequently like in missions. The error popping up is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The keyboard I'm using is Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, connected to a mac mini running boot camp (so it supports windows natively). Running windows 7 on the thing.
Any thoughts?
