Keyboard key strokes are either laggy or don't respond at all

Hi, I am using a Microsoft Arc keyboard, or trying too in STO. Most of the time when I try to type it either doesn't register the keystroke or is extremely lagged, sometimes holding the keyboard button down helps it read the key press. This is a Microsoft keyboard on a Microsoft operating system ( Windows 7 x64 ). It is wireless but it works fine typing this message and in ANY other program I have ever run on this computer. I even tried switching batteries to brand new ones and STO still had problems with key presses. Additionally I have a wireless 360 controller, and Logitech G13 game pad and G9 mouse.

Please help because I can not communicate with other players in the game and it makes my MMO experience feel kind of lonely.

    I have some more info about the trouble I am having with laggy key presses. It seems to be fine on other characters. And on the character I am having a problem with when I tap the keys really quickly I seem to have more success typing them then when there is any delay typing.

    One thing I can think of that I may have screwed up on that character is that I used it too configure 360 controller key binds with the console, I eventually turned off the Xbox controller in menu and set up XPadder to operate key strokes and things but somehow I think Xbox binds are still lurking around.


    I am thinking now that someone has a few symptoms they will know what is going on and give me some help.

    Don't know. But today the game seems sluggish and slow to respond to keystrokes. I'm using a laptop, so I can't say wireless problem. But I am on a wireless home network. Could be why.

    This was happening to me with my mouse, at first i thought it was my mouse buttons going. Then i played another MMO and had no problems what so ever. So the problem is STO, for some reason alot of the UI presses do not register or lag and register all at once. I'll have to chock it up to yet another bug like the "server not responding" one, that is leaving me with little choice but to cancel the game i can not play.
