That is one of the most widely used terms here and it means different things to different users. That can mean that you restarted the device, rebooted it or reset it to factory settings. If none of those things helped and assuming that if you restored to factory settings you also restored the backup, you can try to restore again as new.

Something select to try that is far less work, You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

I have an ipad 4th gen and does the same, its very slow, and even when im done writing the keyboard keeps typing the words im done writing seconds ago, and that'a big issue.

if I try the resetting al setting what will happen? im afraid to loose all my data, apps, pics and everything

All of your settings will revert to out of the box status. You will have to enter your WiFi passwords again, you will have to turn Siri on again, reset your Privacy settings.... All of the settings in the settings app. You will not lose any data or media at all. I reset my settings yesterday and it really helped with the lagging keyboard.

Have you tried clearing Safari? Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies & Data

I understand the frustration. I'm not wild about the way my iPad 3 is working in Safari either. The keyboard is almost useless at times here in the ASC forums when I am trying to use it. I'm considering restoring the device myself. Resetting settings works for a while, but that becomes tedious after a while.

• Better support of Ask To Buy for Family Sharing for In-App Purchases
• Fixes an issue where ringtones were sometimes not restored from iCloud backups
• Fixes a bug that prevented uploading photos and videos from Safari

This is was taken from OSXDaily.com yesterday. The line in bold was something that they addes in jest, but the other "fixes" we're supposedly included in the update that wasn't.

IMHO, all of the fixes are not stated publicly when any system/software is updated. The more things that you admit to fixing - makes it look like the more things that you messed up to begin with. 😁

Both my iPod Touch and iPad mini retina lags slightly while typing, sometimes its more than slightly. For both it started just couple of months after buying, I'm guessing it happened after the iOS 7 update or some other ios update. What is this really? My devices are all ok and no other problem, iPod touch is still the latest version out and iPad mini retina was the latest gen until just weeks ago. So they should not be having problems with iOS 8.1 at all.

Same with me - wiped iPad completely then downloaded apps from the App Store then synced music and photos etc. The next day the update came out which I've added and still have major typing lag.

if you're reading this Apple - sort your **** out!!

i have same issue to, but on my air 2. It also was on my old iPad 3 as well I believe. I think, similar to that other person my air 2?294&3: for a little while, but then... Hit with a laggy keyboard. For me though, it's nit just safari, but pages and I message too. Even none apple software like messenger. So to me it seems like it's just the whole keyboard across the system. And the lag is pretty often, I agree though, it's anoying.
