My boyfriend's keyboard has been having a massive delay when he types and every time he plays a game and presses "w", for example, that key repeats itself for a while (like he'll stop pressing w and his character will still be walking). It is not his keyboard, he bought a new one once it started happening and the new keyboard does the same. I thought maybe his psu didn't have enough wattage, a component got shocked from static electricity during building, or if it's the motherboard dying, but I'm not a PC whiz so I'm not sure. Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you :)

Unplug it, hold the power button for a few seconds, maybe give it a few minutes (not really sure this is necessary, just being thorough), then plug it back in and start it up.

I saw something like this with a laptop. Removed battery and power cord, emptied remaining power, started it up and it didn't do it anymore. maybe you could do the same with his PC.

Thank you :) I'll let him know

*edit* he tried that and he said it helped him out a lot. He now only has a 0.5 delay. :D thank you so so much
