    I recently made the switch to 64 bit using findvikas' guide (highly recommended) and everything went smoothly. One thing I did notice is it seems that my keyboard lag is much worse now. I can deal with it until the driver update, I just thought I'd bring this to light in case it gave anyone a clue as to what could be causing it.

    How bad is the lag? And if it's possible, when does it lag? Does it lag when you're repeating letters (ex. the "o's" in google) or is it lagging between every letter you type?

    Always with double letters. I'd say 50% of the time I type "google" it shows up as gogle.

    I tried to reproduce and I noticed one thing... which could be a causing issue. Does it always give you problem no matter what application you are using or only when you are typing a text box which has Auto Complete feature. Like IE address bar, Run Dialog or any other such text box?

    I noticed it only with Auto Complete boxes, I also noticed that it happens for same character only once.. like if I type Google twice it type "Gogle Google" same with apple and other characters. May be some sort of stupid memory leak... grrrrrr someone please fix it. I was blaming it to my typing habits but for sure its not that noticeable (at least to me)
