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?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

Hi asklivagos,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re experiencing some lag when typing on your MacBook Pro. We’re happy to help.


If you haven’t already, try restarting your Mac to see if the issue persists. While this is a simple step, it sometimes resolves issues like this.


If that doesn’t help, test to see if the issue persists in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
