Does anyone else have keyboard lag with Win 10?

Saucy_Jack

So Windows and all my drivers are up to date, but I noticed a couple of months ago that there was a real lag on how the game parsed my keyboard inputs (playing this on a new Sager laptop, for the record.)

Like, when I hold down shift to sprint, after I release the sprint button I still sprint for a couple of seconds afterwards; if I've been sprinting I also have to wait a couple of seconds to type in chat or else it'll come out in all caps. I've tried adjusting/turning off Sticky Keys; I've also tried adjusting in my keyboard settings the time that my laptop acknowledges repeat keystrokes, but nothing's worked. I used to be able to play the game just fine, but some update - either in Windows or in the ESO code - has changed how keystrokes get parsed, and I haven't been able to play normally since it happened.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there a fix?

Stuff like that for me is satellite-based lag.

Check to make sure no background processes are consuming CPU cycles to a point it's causing input lag. See if temporarily uninstalling (not just disabling) your security software alleviates the issue at all. Try creating a temporary user in Windows and see if the issue persists there also.

Not sure if any of these will do the trick, but it's a place to start.

Are you using a wireless keyboard?

I think that it was ZZ Top that sang, "Get a wired mechanical keyboard and send all your problems back home."

Runs like a charm on my Win10 system with a Corsair mechanical keyboard..

I'd have terrible input lag with wireless keyboards even if it and the usb adapter were only inches away.

I'm using the keyboard on my laptop. Why would I use a wireless keyboard?
