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.

    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.

    I am having the same issue ... restarting fixes it for a bit, then right back to missing keystrokes and lag on input.

    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.

    Hello,

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It looks like this case is not isolated to just one case, as all the post on this thread seems to be having the same issue after the update. Nevertheless, we would like to suggest a few basic troubleshooting step, so that we can eliminate all the other factors that could cause the issue, before we point our fingers to the update.

    With that being said, I would like to suggest to check for driver updates, particularly with the keyboard and mouse, as a first troubleshooting step. Kindly refer to this link for more information and help regarding driver updates.

    Let us know the outcome. We'll keep an eye out to your response.

    I've done ALL that with the same result. 

    Slow keyboard. practically useless....

    it says I have the right driver.

    Removed and reinstalled anyway.

    Ran all windows updates it would let me run.

    turned off filter keys

    Maybe it's not these people's fault.. maybe it's Microsoft.
