Asus Stealth G7J3 - A1 keyboard lag

post #1 of 20

Thread Starter 
It's been a few years since I've posted on this forum. I just purchased the Asus G7J3-A1 and I noticed that there is some noticeable lag in the keyboard. I am a very fast typer and I find myself correcting every sentence. Is there a driver to correct this issue?

Thanks.

I knew there had to be a catch with this beast of a laptop. The keyboard is really really terrible. Any suggestions on a fix?

Keyboard lagging

I'm having major lag issues with the keyboard. I can type very fast...anyone have these issues as well? If so, is there a driver I can download?

I also have the same keyboard and having the same problem. I tried to come out from this problem but I can't. So now I have decided to upgrade with the better one within few days. I searched out some drivers for it but they also gave me any good result.

Does this happen to every single app that requires keyboard input? Checked out your background processes and/or virus configuration?

Happens whenever I type in a browser or really anywhere for that matter. Just happened again twice while typing this sentence and I'm hitting the keys pretty hard.

No virus', everything is configured properly.

Just for checking, would you try with another browser and see if the same problem occurs?

Same problems...it's for any app that I use. Issues with lag and the space bar even though I hit the space bar really hard. It's as if it can't keep up with my typing which isn't that fast...but faster than most people (I took typing class in high school).

Just poking here for clue. The same thing happens with an external USB keyboard? I just want to eliminate the hardware issue first

Thanks for your help. I don't have an external keyboard unfortunately. Seems to be really prevalent in Google Chrome although I think all around the lag is noticeable.

Most of the keyboard lag (other than hardware issue) that I experienced came from Virus software (using a free version always seems to fix the issue) or some background defrag and indexing (turning them off can also help). Review also some dodgy services.

From what I remember this had to do with a plastic coating that was covering the connectors on the ribbon cable for the keyboard. I heard of people scraping it away with a screw driver but when I had mine I cut off the end and striped back the plastic to expose a new part of the connector. It helped some but not 100%.

Are you serious? Does Asus know about the issue for this model?

I think they do because I went to another forum:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus...-issues-2.html

And I found the temporary fix for it right now. I went into my bios and disabled the pointing device, i.e. symnamptics. It has fixed the issue but now I don't have access to the tracking pad which is okay....I'd rather have a good solid keyboard than not have a mouse. Kind of sucks that after paying close to 2 k in Canada that this has to happen right away.

I had the same problem with my G72GX and now my G60VX both use the same kb part, and with the G72 it would not only have missed keystrokes sometimes double keys, and on my G60VX I would just get missing key strokes, on both of them as soon as I disabled the pointing device in the Bios it fixed the issue. I do not use the touch pad anyway but that is an odd issue, and odder resolution. Probably a design flaw with the interface those two devices are on. Possibly a power issue or hardware conflict between the two.

This is a known issue with this laptop.

The poster above is correct in that disabling the internal touchpad should help.

This issue has been discussed in detail over @ forum.notebookreview.com/asus

Here are G73JH common problems and solutions. The keyboard lag is listed:

this might be a wild shot but i think that this might have to do with the sound drivers, actually. i produce music and wanted to play out some melodies on my g73 keyboard just a few minutes ago, so i switched audio output to an ASIO driver off my sound card and suddenly response from my keyboard started playing with no latency. surprised me, to say the least--and now it seems that with the off-board drivers turned on i'm experiencing no missed keystrokes at all now--which never happens in general. hmmmm i wonder what the issue is? i wouldnt have thought the internal sound card from the g73 would have anything to do with the keyboard inputs but maybe they do...

Did you happen to try with some other audio drivers? It is a good tip for work around you are giving here.
