I'm using this code to use leonardo as keyboard:

void setup() {
  Keyboard.begin();
}

void loop() {
  delay(1000);
  Keyboard.press(KEY_F2);
  delay(100);
  Keyboard.releaseAll();
  delay(1000);
}

But it fails to send keys when the computer is booting. On windows it works.

Is there a way to set arduino leonardo as a real keyboard?

Edit 1:

I try with other machine and it works. I Guess this problem is pointed on this question Arduino PS/2 Keyboard Emulator Issues

Edit 2:

It fails on a PowerEdge R720 dell server.

    Might be more of a computer BIOS issue than anything. Check that USB keyboard support is on in the BIOS. – dext0rb Jul 16 '13 at 18:35
  • I guess arduino is "partial spec compliance". – Delta Jul 16 '13 at 19:35
  • I think it's far more likely that the PC is resetting all the USB devices at boot, and as such, the leonardo is sitting in the boot-loader timeout while the initial BIOS boot screens are displayed. – Connor Wolf Jul 17 '13 at 04:54
  • Well if this is the case unpluging and pluging again should work. I'm working on a dell server PowerEdge R720. – Delta Jul 17 '13 at 15:56
