hey, so while I'm typing this message i have no problem at all with my keyboard. But when i go into games, like valorant by exemple. when i go to the left, my charachter goes too far (he continues a bit and then he stops),this happens for the right too. Also somethimes when i go forward, my charachter is just not stopping from moving until i press on the keyboard again. and somethimes when i go forward, my character just stops moving, just like i'd press on 'going backwards' button.

i tried my keyboard on my console and there everything just work perfectly i really do not understand... all drivers are up to date and i am on windows 11 (please help)

    Hi Kylian, I hope your doing well despite the problem you are experiencing now and I'm sorry for that. For that let me try to assist you.

    You may experience lag especially during fps games. If you are using a gaming keyboard, you may want to use the latest driver. But before downloading the latest driver, I suggest you should uninstall the existing drivers first before installing the new version. Please also ensure that you use the drivers recommended by the manufacturer so you will be able to use the best experience of your keyboard.

    You can also check the guidelines provided in the link below

    Aside from that, please also take note if your display VGA drivers are updated. Sometimes, graphic issues also causes delay. It is also best to uninstall the drivers first, perform a restart before installing the latest driver.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if I didn't address your problem. Don't hesitate to ask for further assistance.

    Regards,

    Arnel

    I'm not sure why the language is not in English but have you downloaded the drivers from the official site? Are the other devices in the correct descriptions?

    For your lagging experience, there is a big amount of difference in playing online vs playing alone. When you do play by solo, the communication is done only in your station alone. But when you use your network, especially the internet, it will depend on the ISP or internet provide. Plus who or where the server of the game is. Games especially FPS requires a low latency to have the very best connection possible. Latency is different from download speed and upload speed. You can use sites that can check how much latency do you have. Latency also changes during gameplay but as long as it can provide the lowest possible value, then your connection will be good enough and will have the advantage over other players that has higher latency. During the game, you can check from its options if it can show latency while the game is playing.

    Aside from that, check the following link. I hope it can help you update your lagging issues

    hey, first of all thank you really much for your answer, you solved my problem !!!

    thank you so much i was really freaking out and was a bit scared to uninstall my keyboard because i thought it would've make it unusable after restarting windows, but i was wrong it just simply reinstalled the drivers

    Now everhything works perfectly fine but i just had two other questions (sorry). why do i have this (sorry it's in french):

    my keyboard is a logitech G413 and usually it's the name of the keyboard that is written, not that weird "PIH" thing. (i am just wondering why, if my keyboard works fine i don't really care haha)

    my second question: I have a really good internet connexion, i have no internet lag issue with any game besides one!

    the game is lethal company and i'm wondering why i'm lagging while playing with friends but when i play alone everything just works perfectly fine. It must be something with internet but like I said i am have i really good connexion with no lag on any other game. but I did not have that problem before, it just appeared al of a sudden out of nowhere and i am wondering if I could maybe force the game to use more internet speed. maybe i could solve my problem by doing something with the propreties of the game or by goign into the windows settings. But i already uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times and all my graphic drivers and widows is up to date.

    But i'm really hapy you helped me out with my problem thank you!
