Keyboard input slow response

[samosa-thoke]

I had this issue and disabled the keyboard daemon. This solved the login issues. But now I have strange delays with the keyboard input. Its like I can only type one letter per second or less.

Re-enabling the keyboard daemon doesn’t bring back normal input behaviour.

Any ideas?

I do not know whether your problem could be remedied by the following approach, but perhaps you may find inspiration from this thread below, started by myself in August 2021. Please read through the whole thread to learn what the problem was and how I solved it.

Anybody else having keyboard settings problems?

I’ve only really noticed this after the 2021.08.09 Stable Update, but apparently many keyboard settings were changed with said update. One of them was the system-wide delay and rate settings for key repeats, which I’ve now readjusted via the Keyboard Settings section under the “Manjaro” header in System Settings. However, the following two issues have also managed to sneak in… The Compose key no longer works. On my keyboard, using the Belgian layout, I had set it to the right-hand Win-key.…

I have tried to set the input rate via xset r rate 180 76 which led every key beeing input either 0 times or like 10-20 times on single press. So I reverted that.

I just changed the keyboard model in the System Settings > Hardware > Keyboard to “Generic 104-key | PC” (I believe the selected value is not that important). After that the proccess kglobalaccel5 starts using 100% CPU for a while and when this finishes the keyboard input is now back to normal.

I’m confused.
