I am experiencing issues with my keyboard after updating to Big Sur yesterday, it seems to have mind of it's own, typing anything is a challenge as I have to recheck every key stroke, and it seems to effect every key randomly even the space bar!...is anyone experiencing anything similar?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

What exact Mac is this?
Internal keyboard / external keyboard?
Have you rebooted?
have you tried resetting NVRAM/PRAM hthttp://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 ?
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
Thanks! I had this problem with my 16" MacBook Pro and an external Magic Keyboard. The "Reset the bluetooth module" didn't fix it for me, but the "Factory reset all connected Apple devices" worked like a charm! I wasn't aware of the clicking of the bluetooth icon while holding down SHIFT + OPTION, so big thank you for this!
After all the troubleshooting my iMac(iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch,2018, 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 ,Radeon Pro 560 4 GB) was still very slow(although the lagging issue was resolved) so i decided to back all my data up and then reinstall Big Sur from scratch(erasing all data), iMac is now back to normal and functioning as it should
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)
I am having all sort of different issues with keyboard strokes. For example, typing in fields such as GET INFO, not only do I get this un-fluid motion with some type of lag and also this optical illusion type thing I am seeing, like disappearing text after I have typed in a stroke, I also have to repeat a name change of a file twice, because it doesn't register the first time. It is time consuming. I cannot even explain or put into words what it is doing, it is so strange and very very frustrating. Also typing into fields on SAFARI. When typing to log into website accounts on Safari I get the beach ball for aboute a minute after every key stroke. It is driving me nuts.
I am also experiencing some other issues not relating to keyboard issues.
I only upgraded a couple of weeks ago.
Thank you for your suggestions, they seem to have fixed the issue...
Thank you, LeniNeto! I'll give this a try!
LeniNeto - thanks so much, the "Reset the bluetooth module" did the trick for me too.
I'm glad it helped Pent8000!
The ShiftOption didn't work so i tried the factory reset and that did the trick(iMac Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017) Thanks for your help
Glad it helped Christos-Holland!
Quick update here: the problem returned for me. Twice.
I repeated the procedure and it fixed the problem again, but it keeps coming back, apparently.
Update: after a happy few days in Catalina, I decided to upgrade to Big Sur and the keyboard lag issue is back!
resetting the bluetooth module worked for me, at least for now.
I saw seeing lag with both the Magic Mouse, and keyboard running Mac OS 11.1 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017). The Bluetooth module reset also appears to have resolved for me. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, LeniNeto! Worked for me. E.
Hey there. When I push shift, I don’t have the reser Bluetooth module? Thoughts.
