    I got my new G73 yesterday after a GSOD RMA. I have done the full Bios/vBios/CCC/RealTek/Creative stuff and the computer is running great.

    I have WoW installed and I notice that I get a slight space bar latency/lag when trying to jump in the game. Are there Keyboard updates for the G73jh? or a sensitivity button that I am not seeing somewhere?

    It seems to be only the space bar, and I can only notice it lagging (very slightly) in WoW.

    If it's only lagging during WoW, it's probably just in game lag. if you notice spacebar lag all the time, it's probably a hardware fault. I wouldn't know how to fix it other than taking out the spacebar, cleaning it, and reattaching it well.

    WoW = Blizzard = not the best for making optimized code

    I've seen WoW lag due to non-optimal HDD firmwares, and other stupid things.

    I would look up a Wow Optimizer How-To, or just live with it.

    Since you seem to encounter the lag only with the space bar I don't know if you'll get much mileage out of it, but try the Leatrix script in my sig. Regardless of whether or not it fixes your issue, you should still see lower overall latency, which is always good.
