Ipac slow button response?

Hi EwJ,

I've checked the device manager and everything is fine, at least there isn't a obvious conflict or lack of drivers in any device.

The cpu load seems normal. No, I didn't install any Intellipoint related drivers.

Going to check the Bios and look for the settings you mentioned.

Thanks!

Just in case it somehow is the filterkeys prob, try pressing both shift buttons at the same time.  Then see if there's any difference.
No diff, try hitting both at same time twice.  If no diff, try holding left shift and pressing f7, then press rt shift 3 times.
If none of that makes any difference, it may at least eliminate the stickykeys thing as the problem, although there are registry settings you could check for those also.

If you go to Control Panel-->device Manager-->View-show hidden devices...,
then uninstall all Ipac and keyboard devices, then disconnect all Ipacs/keyboards.
Shut down.
Plug in only 1 keyboard (perhaps the usb keyboard if the ps/2 was giving the initial problems).
Reboot, check device manager for the usb keyboard and all drivers, etc are a-okay.
Test it out, if still laggy, try the both shift at same time, etc (as above).
Then, still probs..goto  Control Panel--->Keyboard--->Speed tab
Check that repeat delay is near slow, the repeat rate is all the way to fast, cursor fast..
You can also check the hardware tab, it should just show what you saw in device manager,
the one keyboard, the location, status (working properly), etc.

If it's none of that, and nothing strange in the bios, and bios update doesn't help, there are   a couple registry settings you could check.......if all that and the 'live' linux distro doesn't rule anything out......a big hammer won't solve anything, but a little 'smashy smashy' might feel good.

Pushthebutton - You could try overclocking the polling rate on the USB device.  It shouldn't matter but its worth a shot.

If you google around you can find programs that will overclock the USB polling rate from 125hz to 1000hz.  This will give the port ~1ms response time instead of ~6ms.

I use an IPAC4 and mine recently had that problem, especially with 2+ players
The solution was to use the ps/2 not USB connection, and the keyboard was plugged in over USB strait to the PC.

Hi guys, thanks for the help!

I've tried everything you suggest but the sucker behaves the same way  :angry:!!
Can any of you, with a pIII board do the keyboard lag test with "keyboard tester" app from Passmark, just to confirm if you experience the same problem? You will have to push rapidly a sequence of keys or buttons/joysticks and see if there is any lag and if so, what's the extent.
It could be in my head... :dizzy:

Dual core and p4 mobos don't have this problem.
Ipac works just fine and key response is very fast. When using keyboard tester in this mobos you can see a huge difference in key response (faster but not real-time) compared to the pIII machines.

I'm waiting for knoppix to finish downloading.
