I've now noticed that when I open the on screen keyboard that CPU usage jumps to 100% for many seconds and the keyboard is non-responsive. As soon as the CPU usage drops below 100% the keyboard then works.
Windows 10 Creators Update: Keyboard lagging
After updating to the Creators Update, mykeyboard has been lagging, with a few seconds of normal typing, there are significant delay where keystrokes will not register.
Have already checked for updated drivers and troubleshooted, both to no avail.

2018-05-02T20:18:40+00:00 I am having the same issue ... restarting fixes it for a bit, then right back to missing keystrokes and lag on input.

2018-04-07T17:49:17+00:00 I had the same issue and through some deduction, I was able to figure out the cause of my lagging keyboard.
I ran through the normal steps; checking drivers, checking windows updates checking software installs and the like. When none of that proved to be the cause I looked at hardware changes.
BINGO... the only thing I'd done is plugged in an external hard drive recently.
So I unplugged it.
It immediately fixed the problem.
After some looking, I found that USB 3 causes some interference with other USB devices. Then I thought if I had a Logitech Keyboard and mouse using the same dongle, why was it only my keyboard? And I realized I was using a Logitech unifying dongle but my mouse (performance mx) had its own dongle in a different USB port elsewhere.
So I hope this might help someone as much as is did me.

2018-03-25T19:05:29+00:00 I have had many instances where it takes several seconds for my keyboard to register touches. I don't have any issues with the mouse and it only started in the last couple months with a new computer I purchased.
