    recently when playing games i noticed that there is a keyboard lag. when i hit up it activates only after a2 r 3 seconds and than it seems like it i activated for another 2 seconds. what might be causing this. it was not happening before.

    It could be that your game is lagging. Or if you're playing online you could be suffering from a high ping.

    You could try updating your video card drivers to see if that helps. Also stop any unneeded programs from running when playing games.

    So what changes have you made to the system between the last time it worked "flawlessly" and the first time you noticed the lag?

    And was GTA 4 worth it my child? Was it worth the loss of your keyboard's reaction time?
