    Does anyone else have keyboard lag on their XPS 15? Anything i type takes an extra couple seconds to register...the trackpad also has a slight delay...makes surfing the web not so enjoyable...let me know if you found a fix!!

    thanks

    Did you try it on a Linux boot disc and see if it lags? This rules out drivers/malware (yes malware can cause keyboard lag) and a bad keyboard.

    ill definitely try an external keyboard...hopefully it's some malware or something because that would really suck if i needed to get something replaced. no one else has this issue?

    Just figured out that the keyboard lag only occurs in firefox...any reason you guys can figure out for that?? i tried googling it and asking around, but no one seems to have a good answer for it...
