iPad built-in onscreen keyboard sometimes doesn’t recognize pressed keys

I find this most common with the letter t but have had this issue with other letters as well. The top row especially. My problem arises when I strike the desired key. I realize sometimes I’m maybe typing too quickly and slow down. I watch for each individual key to show that it’s been pressed so I know I typed/pressed every correct letter but it does not show. The word, that, for instance. I type T-H-A-T and see each key being depressed but onscreen shows “ha” or something similar.

Just to help provide an example, I’m going to try typing the above paragraph again, word for word, letter for letter, only this time, I’m not going to correct anything or tap a letter several times until it works.

i find his most cmmon wih the letter t but have had this issue wi other letters as well. Th top o especially. My poblem arises when I strike e desired key. I realize someimes I’m mayb tpg too quckl an slow down. I wached o each indivdual key to show that it’s ben pressed so I know I ypd/pssed ever correct lette but it does no show. The wod, that, or instace. I type T-H-A-T and see each ke beig depssed but onscren shows “ha” o something similar.

I realize autocorrect can correct a good portion of this and it did try, but to best demonstrate the issue, I didn’t allow it to correct a single thing. I’m on an iPad Air 2 with iOS 15.5. I’ve tried soft and hard resets. I’ve removed and cleaned the case. I played with keyboard settings like key flicks and slide to type(enabled and disabled). Nothing seems to work and I’m at a loss and ready to chuck this **** tablet into a wall if it doesn’t stop.
