Keyboard Lag

I have a 2020 iMac 27" computer.


I have a terrible keyboard lag time that is most annoying. I have tried the adjustments in accessibility and keyboard without any improvement.


Help!!

iMac 27″, macOS 11.4

I get that once in a long while. Turn off the keyboard using the on/off switch. You'll get an overlay on your screen saying the keyboard was disconnected. Turn it back on. The lag should disappear.


Another option is to plug the keyboard to your Mac using the USB->Lightning cable. It will treat it as a wired keyboard. Disconnect the cable. The lag should disappear.
