  1. How do I fix keyboard delay?


    When I'm playing games, my keyboard usually has delays. Sometimes they're in short spurts by delaying the inputs but also extending said input.Example: I want to move forwards for 1 second. So I hold the forward key for 1 second. Five seconds later, I'm walking for 13 seconds.It gets really annoying when using chat as well.Sometimes it doesn't even register inputs, but then blurts it all out in one singular go!I could type "Hello, I like playing this game" and while that took me 5 seconds, it would take 1 second PER CHARACTER.And before you ask, I have filter keys disabled.

    :)

    Keyboard delay

    Hello.

    It would be great to test your device with another keyboard. This could show the issue is keyboard or system.

    Try the steps below:

    - disconnect and connect keyboard again

    - run hardware troubleshooter

    - update keyboard driver

    - delete keyboard for the device manager list, update it, drivers should be found by system

    Let me know how this works
