This problem started about 2 months ago. It effects both the keyboard and the mouse. I am using a wireless keyboard.

Logitech MX710 I have used this keyboard successfully for about 3 years. My previous keyboard also Logitech wireless worked for about 5 years before I replaced it. I have reached out to Logitech and they do not have any drivers to use with their unifying receiver. I have checked so many helpful hints online that I have lost track of how many times I have tried each of them again and again.

I have tried the following steps:

reloaded drivers from windows, windows update, and computer based.

Removed keyboard filters

Changed repeat rate from medium to fast

Ran Keyboard troubleshooter

ran DSIM.exe /online /cleanup-image / restorehealth

ran sfc /scannow

restarted computer

Still have a very slow - skipping - laggy keyboard.

    I agree 100%. I even have lag with my wired devices, in fact I am having to go back over this post and fill in the missing letters.

    I don't understand why there is still no fix. I actually wish I had left my PC on Windows 10.

    Up until July 2023, I was running my Dell laptop with Windows 10 in two different settings:

    1. wired keyboard, wireless mouse (no unifying receiver, no Bluetooth, but I guess some proprietary wireless protocol)
    2. wireless K750 solar keyboard and MX Anywhere 2S mouse, both using Logitech unifying receiver

    Never had any issues. Ever.

    Then, the company had us upgrade to Windows 11.

    In Setting #1, the mouse started lagging. Sometimes, killing and restarting Windows Explorer helped for a little while. The receiver is maybe 20 inches away from the mouse.

    It's still an open issue.

    In Setting #2, the keyboard is lagging. It seems that input is buffered, then delivered delayed for seconds.

    The Logitech unifying receiver is connected to an Anker USB hub, which is connected to the laptop's UCB-C port, and it's literally 8 inches away from the keyboard. The issue still happens, but interestingly, the mouse doesn't have any issues.

    I have plenty of free RAM, and the keyboard is charged to 100%. In Device Manager, I set all USB controllers to disable turning off power.

    Nothing helps.

    This is clearly a Windows 11 issue with wireless mouse/keyboard. Whether or not it's a Logitech issue, I can't determine.

    It got that bad we ended up selling our client a new laptop and then blowing the other one way and redeploying to another staff member

    Solved the issue for me. Makes sense now why unplugging the logitech universal dongle and plugging it back in would resolve the issue for a few minutes (I understand now that it was dependent upon how long of break there was in between keyboard uses).

    For me the problem was solved by putting a small extended cable to connect the dongle, no more lag after that !

    I think that probably the proximity of the dongle with the electronic cards of my PC disturbed the transmission.
