Keyboard keys lag...

I have replaced a Logitech keyboard which just stopped working with an iClever GK08 keyboard and mouse combo. The problem I'm having is that all the keys are lagging by 1/2 of a second or a full second. I restarted my iMac (Intel, Running OS X 10.11.6) and the problem persist. I tested the new keyboard in a Windows PC and it works fine... What's wrong with my Mac...?

Hi there, Guitar Monster!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're noticing a lag when you type with your keyboard. You should check out this article for How to reset the SMC of your Mac and see if a reset resolves the issue.


Next, we recommend taking a look at this article with steps to follow for How to use safe mode on your Mac. This will perform checks and stop certain software from starting up automatically. Once you are in safe mode, test to see if you have the same issue. 


Does this happen with all apps or with any specific app on the iMac?


Let us know the results and have a fantastic day!
