    Keystrokes not registering until a key is pressed multiple


    I got on my laptop this morning to find that whenever I am inputting text in any application that I need to press a key multiple times to get inputs to register. I do not mean that if I wanted to type the letter G that I need to press the G key multiple times, I can press the K key or the Y key a few times, then go back to press the G key and the only keystroke that will register is the final, G input. It seems that my keyboard requires 5 to 7 inputs before "waking up" and actually registering keystrokes, so to speak. This issue happens whenever I open a new tab, leave a text box idle for as l

    Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard not registering first keystroke

    I tried all your steps and no luck. I have one of these keyboards at home and at work. Both have the same issue. It mainly is when you switch between programs the first keystroke is not registering.

    This is very frustrating, especially when typing password.

  3. Sculpt Comfort Keyboard not registering 1st keystroke

    Hello Kit,

    An outdated or incompatible driver can be one of the possible factors why this issue occurs. That being said, I suggest you to Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
    and check. Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

    1. Press Windows key + S on your keyboard.
    2. Type Troubleshoot and hit
      Enter.
    3. Click on Hardware and Devices.
    4. Run the troubleshooter and follow the on-screen prompt.

    Also suggest you to go the link below and download the latest drivers for the keyboard and see if it helps to resolve the issue:

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as
    soon as I can.

  4. Keystrokes not registering until a key is pressed multiple

    Win 10 keystrokes go bonkers


    when I hit one key sometimes it drops down a list to select from

    sometimes it takes 2 keystrokes then just hangs

    if I persist in trying Win 10 logs off and I have to log on again.

    maybe the keystroke autocompletion feature?

    Need help. My Win 10 system is now unusable until I resolve this issur.

    Using a second PC to enter this problem description.

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Thanks/
