Does your Magic Keyboard lag?

My Magic keyboard has a noticeable lag between when I touch a key and when the typing appears on the screen. This happens in all apps. My keyboard is fully charged, and close to the iMac.

Same issue with lagging keyboard and mouse I'm also using a Logitech keyboard and mouse with the same issue (randomly). I'm glad I didn't buy the MX keys since that doesn't seem to solve it either. Has anyone seen the issue with Apple's magic keyboard and mouse? Are they ignoring this issue because their own hardware is fine?

Slight delay when I type I have a 3 week old 27" iMac with 72 gb ram. For the last day or so whenever I type I have a slight delay, which is annoying because I type so fast. It lags behind just a little. How can I fix this? The keyboard is fully charged. (I did notice that when I plug in the lightening cable (to my keyboard) that the response time is good.)

typing lag on mac pro out of nowhere my mac's keyboard began to lag. it happens every now and again, and after a few seconds a couple of the buttons i clicked while it was lagging will register. to clarify it is the built in keyboard because everything online was talking about bluetooth or wired ones. any similar issues or tips?

I notice a type of lag as well. I notice more towards the release of the of keys rather than the pressing of keys.

I disconnected the keyboard (Bluetooth settings) and re-connected it. That seemed to help me - does this work for you, too?
