Random stuck / lag in keyboard when playing online

Hi, I'm desperately opening this thread hoping that someone can help with an annoying problem that I've been experiencing since I bought my new PC. I've found more people on the internet experiencing similar
issues so I think this is not exclusive to me, but the problem was never solved. I've done my best to gather as many info as I can to describe the problem properly.

For the moment, this only happened to me when playing online multiplayer games. In my case, Fortnite (via Epic Launcher) and CS:GO (via Steam). The problem didn't happen when playing several single-player games such as Crysis 1, 2 and 3, AER, Rime... (via
Steam, Origin...)

Problem description: I randomly experience a weird lag with keyboard response. This happens with all the keys that involve character actions: W, A, S, D, Ctrl, Spacebar... After some time playing with no issues, keys start getting stuck
experiencing a weird, random lag. It can be half a second, or even more than 10 seconds, not a regular thing. To better describe the issue, here's a tedious example:

I keep "W" pressed > Character walks for 3 seconds > Character stops for 1 second > Character starts moving again > He stops again > I stop pressing "W" > Characters stays still > He starts walking again (not because I pressed "W" again, but because
the system "remembers" I was pressing "W" for a while after the character stopped) > He stops again > I press "W" and "spacebar" > Character stays still > Character suddenly walks and jump (system remembers that I pressed "W" and "space" a while ago) > Etc.

This happens in a completely random way. Sometimes I play for hours with no issues, sometimes it appears after playing for a while, and sometimes it happens from the beginning. It can last just a few minutes, or it just don't disappear so I have to stop
playing for good.

When the problem is happening, it's important to say that mouse keep working perfectly, I can even shoot and kill other players in perfect real time –I've tested it many times, even playing with friends just to make sure–. That's why I know it's not just
an internet lag issue.

Other interesting thing is that he "Esc" key, which is used to open the game menu, keeps working perfectly. So it seems that the problem only affects to the keys that involve multiplayer/online functions. Also, if I minimize the game and open any word processor,
keys work perfectly.

I've been trying all the next things. with no success:

1. Restarting PC and the game.

2. Trying with a different keyboard.

3. Changing the USB receiver to a different USB port.

4. Increasing and reducing character speed and delay in "Keyboard properties".

5. Restarting the computer in a "clean way" (disabling as many services and tasks as possible).

6. Updating drivers of keyboard, motherboard, processor...

7. Updating Windows.

8. Making sure to be malware free, anyway I started experiencing the problem even when just Steam was installed, no other software or downloads at all.

9. Disabling the power saving option in as many hardware and USB ports as possible.

Now my PC specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro version 1903 (licensed and installed from the official installer)

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.9 Ghz

Graphic card: XFX Radeon RX 580 XXX GTS Edition OC+ 8GB GDDR5

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Grey 8GB (1x8GB) 3200Mhz (PC4-25600) CL16 - DDR4

Hard drive: SSD Toshiba OCZ TR200 480GB SATA3

Motherboard: Asus TUF B450M-PLUS Gaming Socket AM4

I would be infinitely grateful for any suggestion or idea of whats happening.

Thanks in advance!

 

Keyboard input lag (Logitech K270 wireless keyboard, Windows 10 20H2)

Hi there. I've got yet another Windows 10 problem. lol

This time it's my keyboard. I'm using a Logitech K270 wireless keyboard, on Windows 10 Pro 20H2. I have been experiencing keyboard input lag off and on for a couple months now, and I've searched for possible solutions, but none so far have worked. I was hoping you guys could suggest some fixes.

Here's what I've tried, based on the suggestions I've found on the web:

• Updating the keyboard/dongle's drivers (there are no drivers on Logitechs's site, oddly) and firmware. Nope.
• Swapping USB ports. Nada.
• Unplugging any extraneous USB devices. Zilch.
• Checking the batteries. No joy.

As I was typing this it was lagging here and there. It's a bit disconcerting. Anyway... I don't think I missed anything, but if you need more information or diagnostics, lemme know and I'll upload 'em.
