Keyboard, Touchpad, Mouse input lag

I’m experiencing this issue for a while already.

Whenever I don’t use them for a bit (~5-10s) they are “stuck” and a lag occurs. Sometimes sending the input multiple times.

e.g. with Strg+w accidentally closing 2 tabs in firefox,
or the courser moves a bit gets stuck and then moves again

With a keyboard the lag only happens after an idle time, while moving the mouse it sometimes happens in between as well.

some observations

  • It only occurs when no external monitor is connected.
  • How the monitor is connected does not seem to matter (hdmi, Usb-c+db)
  • Tried with different monitors
  • it happens on external and internal keyboards/mices
  • power plugged in or not does not seem to matter

Right now it was hard to reproduce the issue, the next time this gets annoying what log messages could I check?

Some system infos.

Any updates? I too have been experiencing some lags. I can type pn keyboard and still see the key presses being resolved on scree. Im still on the native monitor.

I"m having the same issue, after searching I seem to have fixed it by just downgrading my kernel from 5.15 to 5.10
