Update: I think the problem only started since the keyboard was plugged 
into the monitor's internal USB hub (I'd moved it here to tidy up some 
wires under my desk). The r stopped working approximately 25% of the 
time after the PC puts the monitor to sleep and then I wake it back up 
again. However I moved it to the next USB socket on the monitor, then 
back to the first and I can't recreate it anymore in either socket... 
Maybe it's just Windows telling me I need to restart my machine after 17 
days?
