typing from the keyboard is slow, it can't keep up.

Thanks for your answer. I wonder if there is something wrong with the new HP laptop with only an i3 processor at only 1.6GHZ and Windows 10 or simply the internet speed at certain times. I'm paying extra for Comcast Boost but typing 10 letters in the search yields 2 and then slowly ads the rest occasionally.. Since it also started hanging up, I did a restore and getting ready to send it back to HSN. Plan to buy a better Laptop from HP using their config system to get the processor, memory, color and graphic card I need for a good price especially with the coupons for up to $275 off. I've never had the problem on my XP Desktop except for occasional Web searches on Holiday weekends. I'll save your answer and try it the next time it happens. Thanks

I was having a similar problem with the newest version of MS Outlook in Office 365 (v.16). Several of my templates have graphic (.png) files. These had been inserted with the MS insert picture command. I deleted these and copy/pasted them from CorelDraw and the slow keyboard went away.

I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS BECAUSE MY BATTERY ON MY LAP TOP WAS SHOT. TO MAKE SURE IT WAS THE BATTERY I REMOVED IT AND TURNED THE COMPUTER ON USING ONLY THE A.C. POWER. IT WORKED GREAT, AND ONCE I'VE PUT THE BATTERY BACK, IN IT WAS BACK TO THE SAME OLD THING AGAIN. I KNEW THE BATTERY WAS SHOT, BECAUSE WHENEVER I UNPLUGGED IT FROM THE WALL IT WILL DIE RIGHT AWAY. IT WORKED FOR ME IT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU. HOPE THIS HELPED

This sounded absurd with all that caps lock... but I felt stupid after trying it because he's right. The battery caused the input lag.

hi all,

I'm having problems with my laptop when typing. When I type with my normal speed .. 45-50wpm, the keyboard can't keep up! I went to the control panel and adjusted the speed rate of the keyboard to its max speed meaning:

repeat delay: short (dragged to the right most knot)

repeat rate: Fast (right most also)

i dont really know how to fix it, but it may just be windows vista holding you back. it's an old version of windows, so it's not surprising to see problems with it.


After doing this step, it kinda fixed the problem, but after a while, it became slow again =(. Sometimes, when I press multiple "a" keys, I stroke 4 but only 2 letters appeared. This is applicable to "ALL" keys, not just "a". I also tried to strike the keys moderately and it still does the same thing. It feels like that the keyboard is having a memory lapse hehe.

Is this a sign of a keylogger installed in my PC? I scanned my PC using Spybot S & D + Ad Aware (freeware version) + Norton AV 2007 and It just showed a bunch of tracker cookies. It's clean already.

This is the specs of my PC:

Sony Vaio VGN-CR140E/B / Core 2 duo T7300 2.0 Ghz / 14.1 WXGA / 2Gb memory / 160gb hard drive
Vista Home Premium x86
External mouse installed
No other external devices installed

Thank you in advance =)
