Hi.
I’m using qtile. Inxi results for hardware at the bottom of the post. My system has been stable for a long time. Never encountered this issue before. I don’t recally doing any changes in the system. My workflow has been set for some time now.
A major part of my work is done in web applications (Firefox). But the lag also happens in other applications (such as when writing in mousepad).
Could really use some help here.
Problem description
-
Endeavour is at times randomly skipping characters while typing (some characters just wont appear)
-
OR ignoring keyboard inputs alltogether (kb inputs wont work)
-
OR is adding lag to inputs (when you type, it takes 10 seconds for a single character to appear)
What I tried: tried a different keyboard, changed batteries on the current keyboard (2 times).
My keyboard is connected via wifi dongle. It’s in the closest port, like 40 cm away from the keyboard. I moved it around, didn’t make a difference.
The thing is, I’ve been using the same keyboard for years. There aren’t any issues when using the keyboard on a laptop. Keep in mind that the same keyboard and dongle have been in use on the same Endeavouros for about 1 year now, or perhaps 1.5 years. Not a single issue until this thing started happening.
