Dell Keyboard/Mouse Lag

My keyboard and mouse for Dell Inspiro 1501 have a serious lag with the keyboard being much worse than the mouse. Half of the letters I type don't even register and I have to repeat the key strike several times. It took me over 2 minutes to type this and I can usually type 70-80 words/min! I had the problem with Windows Vista. I upgraded to Windows 7 and problem remains. I've already reinstalled drivers, no help.

    thanks for the idea, but that is not the problem... the computer seems to just momentarily freeze up for a split second at a time, stopping my mouse movements in their tracks and preventing my keystrokes from registering

Check your ease of access settings from the control panel. Make sure you don't have any keyboard and mouse settings that make for slow stroke response.

    you might try reseating your RAM as well as taking your keyboard off and cleaning the ribbon contact. I use a pencil eraser to polish the ribbon and the RAM contacts.

How do I fix my mouse that is very slow responding to clicks and a lagging keyboard?

You may be running too many programs at the same time and clogging up your processor and memory. You could also be affected by any kind of virus, malware, etc. that's causing that. Or you could be just having a problem or conflict with your drivers or programs. Please get a professional to get a good look at it.

Toshiba Dynadock 3.0 mouse and screen lag

You are right, it should not...Check your device manager and see if there is any problem listed there (the little yellow exclamation mark) against the Dynadock. Also check on Windows site if your device is listed as compatible with Win 8 ... Just some ideas, hard to tell just by description.

I have been having an issue where my mouse becomes very slow and jumpy when playing black ops. At all other times it is fine. Any ideas what could be causing this.

Do you experience lag while playing the game? If the game lags, mouse movement will probably lag as well. Do you have another mouse/trackpad/input device you can try? If your other input devices work, it could be a problem with your mouse.

Check to see that you have the latest drivers for your mouse. It could be that obsolete drivers are causing the problem.

I have a VGP-WKB5US wireless keyboard. It works and so does my wireless mouse. The problem is with the sound and brightness controls. The sound doesn't work well and there is a long lag time whenever I try...

it sounds like virused computer or you have alot of programs loading down the drive causing lag issues and not enough memory so that the prossessor can handle the demand couse if I knew more about what was going on and how much memory hard drive space and where able to see what where going on I could give you a better Idea

Wireless mouse freezes the screen goes white it is a dell monitor i have had for about 3/4 years and a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse which i have had for about 2and a half years just started today...

Are the batteries fresh in the keyboard and mouse? Do you have USB keyboard and mouse to try (to eliminate possibility of wireless keyboard / mouse failure) If you do have alternate (USB or PS/2) keyboard and mouse, make sure and unplug the USB receiver for wireless set before testing. Let me know results.

Laptop Mousepad and Keyboard stuttering, slow

This may be a battery power monitor issue. Try disabling the "Mircosoft ACPI- Compliant Control Method Battery" device. This is located in Control Panel-->System-->Hardware Tab-->Device Manager-->Batteries. Had similar problem with 2 Acer Aspire series laptops (diff models). 2 and 3 year old. Original batteries (both still hold charges for 1.5 hrs of normal usage). Running WinXP, one with SP2 and other had SP3. Both came in the last month with slow jerky TPAD function and nearly non responsive keyboard access. Checked the usual; virus, spyware, hijacking, driver conflict etc. Cloned drive and factory installed..still same problem with kb & mouse. However an external USB keyboard and mouse functioned normally (no lag). Noticed with Battery removed kb & mouse was normal. Finally found disabling ACPI control battery device resolved this issue while allowing laptop to run on either battery or AC.

Mouse and Keyboard problem encountered in game

the problem is not with your mouse or keyboard but with your system itself. vista is very intensive in eating up your memory resources. try to disable some program like aero or other features of vista which will slow down your computer. how big is your memory both internal and video?

Lag Booting

This is a shot in the dark, bare with me. Disconnect everything from the back of pc except the video, mouse & keyboard. Enter your bios. Still have lag? Reset the bios by clearing the cmos jumper pg. 9 in your manual & remove the battery & check it for 3v if you can. If the lag went away by disconnecting the other devices than re-connect one device at a time with a reboot inbetween. When the lag returns you will know which device is not right. Everything applies when doing this kind of search. If you have two dimms remove one. Check for lag. Than swap memory/check. When you boot to the bios it involves the cpu, motherboard, video, memory & power supply. Your hard drive is also an issue but only at booting to OS. Did the pc encounter a unexpected shut down? Did you replace a device like a mouse or a keyboard? Here it the link for your board. ESC shows very little in regards to FAQ's. I hope something above helps you find a answer! http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=674&DetailName=Bios&MenuID=1&LanID=9
