It started this past saturday, and I noticed it first when playing CS GO, which I downloaded the day before. So I had been playing CS GO just fine on Friday. But now, whenever I play, (not just CS, but my other games too, like Far Cry and UT2004) my games sometimes fail to register any keyboard input for up to 30 seconds at a time, or at other times, they will fail to register when I move my mouse around, use the scroll wheel, etc. At first I thought it might be my connection, but then I tried out single player games like the ones I listed and the problem persisted.

If you do have wireless KBM, then yes you should switch to a wired Gaming KBM. You'll notice much better response times, and you won't have random input issues. I had similar problems before when I was on a wireless KBM setup, it would work 99% of the time but that 1% was just unbearable.

Those both seem like possibilities, especially the latter :) So do you think I just need a wired KB/M?
