Hi protokatie,

excuse my ignorance, is knoppix a linux OS version?

It's a long shot - but - by any chance, is one of your ipac inputs a keyboard SHIFT?  If so, is there a chance it's hooked up to microswitch NC instead of NO? or could you have held down the shift key on either of these machines and enabled Sticky Keys or Filter Keys?
Check Control Panel / Accessibility Options  - check that Sticky, Filter, etc are unchecked/disabled?

Yes, it is what is called a "Live distro", meaning you can boot off of it without having to install it. One of the best troubleshooting checks for something like this is to use another OS. This can help you see if it is a software or hardware issue. If it works in Knoppix, then the problem is the software (OS or other) that you are using. If it doesnt work in Knoppix, it means that the hardware or firmware is at fault.. Its a very easy way to split the troubleshooting in twine.

Thats actually NOT a long shot! Damn windows likes to ask you if you need to have sticky keys enabled if you hit the shift key too many times in a row. And if sticky keys are enabled, then it could cause problems.. There is a thread on here that has the info on how to disable this kind of thing in Windows... Forgot what it was, maybe the origonal poster can give the info again..


EDIT: NM, the info on how to disable sticky keys was in the quote...

I was looking for the accessibility options in Tiny PX but it seems that function was stripped away.

When pressing constantly the shift button the sticky keys function doesn't come up.
Currently I've ruled out the Ipac from the problem as the keyboard (direct connection) behaves the same way, displaying the same lag.

It occurred to me that it could be a Bios update issue. Both pIII mobos are from DFI.

Going to give Knoppix a shot.

Have you done a ctrl-alt-del and checked to see if anything is chewing your cpu cycles and/or memory?
And checked device manager for anything weird like missing drivers, etc?
Couple other long shots:
In the bios, are there settings for repeat delay, repeat rate, etc?
Install at any time MS Intellipoint or Intelli-anything drivers for keyboard/mouse?
