Slow keyboard response is a common problem and can happen to anyone at any time while working on their Windows 10 PC. You’ll often find that it takes forever for what you type on your keyboard to appear on the screen of your Windows 10 PC. This can be frustrating.

But there are several ways to fix this problem and get back to normal typing speed. Let’s see how.

Check for Hardware Problems

This keyboard delay problem may be caused by hardware problems. To check for possible hardware problems :

1. Depending on the type of keyboard you are using:
   • I’m using a wired keyboard: Make sure your keyboard is plugged in. If the input still can’t catch up, try 2).
   • I’m using a wireless keyboard: Replace or recharge the battery if necessary. If you still can’t catch up, try 2).
2. Try a different (and functional) keyboard on your computer. Check to see if the delay is still occurring. If the problem disappears, the first keyboard is probably defective. If the delay problem persists, continue with the next fix.

Adjust Filter Keys Setting

In Windows 10, there is a function called a filter key. When enabled, it can slow down short or repeated keystrokes and may not notice continuous keystrokes. Turning it off may therefore solve the problem of keystroke delay.

• Go to Settings > Ease of Access.
• Click Keyboard and turn off the Filter Keys feature.

Reinstalling or Updating the Keyboard Driver

Windows 10 keyboard delay may be caused by a damaged or old keyboard driver. Attempting to reinstall or update it may be a good solution.

• Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
• Locate your keyboard driver, right-click it and choose Uninstall Device to remove it, or choose Update Driver to update it.
• Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the appropriate procedure.
