I had this issue since migrating to a Mac. I've been a touch-typist for many years and I thought that my wired Apple keyboard caps lock had an intermittent fault.


I found that if I go to Accessibility->Keyboard, then check 'enable slow keys', press 'options' and move the slider to set the 'acceptance delay' to 'short' this solves the issue.


It's ironic that I have to enable 'slow keys' to turn it off with the slider. I'm using Sierra.
