Deylayed keyboard response

Croxyyz · January 13

I just upgraded my pc and everytime i play a game and press a key it takes 2-3 seconds for the action to happen and its only on games. I've tried everything to fix it but nothing seems to work and i havent been able to play anything. If anyone knows how to fix this please lmk

Check your "Accessibility" settings in case nothing was turned on unintentionally there, also do you get this behavior in things like notepad or another app?

A few questions.

What brand and model is the keyboard?
Did you do a clean install after the upgrade?
It happens in every game you play, but not outside of games?
Is the keyboard in a USB hub or directly to the system? USB 2.0 or 3.2 port?
Is there anything connected to the keyboard if it has a USB passthrough?

Do you have Microsoft PowerToys installed?

It's most likely a third party program. Do you have anything installed that lets you modify settings on the keyboard?

i have the my keyboards driver program and thats preety much it

@Croxyyz

What's the program called?

You might also look at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

In the registry. I'd be curious to know what the values for your Upper and Lower filters are.

its called EPOMAKER Driver

is this the right thing?

@Croxyyz

That's it. kbdclass is normal. ekbdflt is an anti-keylogger for ESET. I'd uninstall ESET and see if the problem persists.

Croxyyz · January 25

so i just delete the whole program or can i just disable it on the ESET program?

@Croxyyz

Uninstall it from Apps, follow the uninstall prompts. You can reinstall it later and reactive with your account or key. Just curious if the anti-keylogger is the cause here. It works be scrambling the input and 'decoding' for whichever program the data is targeted at. I've seen it break and fail to decode the input. Stands to reason it could be having an issue and causing the lag in games.
