(Read entire post to understand that this isn't a keyboard problem, it is a software problem) So I contacted customer support and it didn't really help as the response time is abysmal and the suggestion didn't help either. This issue is only really prominent in 2 games, Rainbow Six Siege and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. My FPS for both of those games is almost always at 144 with no issues. The problem that occurs is "Keyboard" lag. Randomly, the RGB on my keyboard will stutter and my keystrokes will register insanely late. I have A LOT of things to fix this but I am not sure what is causing this. It just seems so weird that it only happens in these 2 games. I have tried: - DISM.exe - Fully re-installing both games - Updating Java (I was reaching at this point as I had no idea what else could be causing it) - Making sure I have the latest drivers AND windows update - Making sure my power settings are correct - Making sure that the firmware and iCUE software is up-to-date - Trying to play games with iCUE in system tray, trying with it open on my second monitor, trying with iCUE fully disabled as well but nothing. The funny thing is, when I use the compatibility settings for "Wolfenstein:Youngblood" and set it to Windows Service Pack 2, I get 0 keyboard input lag but the RGB still stutters. What the hell is wrong with this software? I'm yet to find a fix for Rainbow Six Siege, but the fact that this keyboard is quite expensive yet it literally "lags" in video games is a joke. I mean for god sake my £30 keyboard didn't have issues like this. I upgraded specifically for the fact that the keyboard has iCUE software and that it is "reliable" according to reviews. I don't think I can even return it because the issue clearly is caused by iCUE software.

So I have come across this weird issue around 2-3 days ago. When I play games such as Destiny 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, CSGO, the keyboard works just fine. But when I started playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood, it started to "lag". The RGB on my keyboard would start to stutter and the input (for example walking forward and then starting to walk left) would take so long to register or overall that action would get stuck and I would have to mash multiple keys to get it to "unstick". What I have tried: Soft Resetting the keyboard V-Sync Nvidia Inspector - Frame Limiting iCUE software completely turned off via Task Manager Complete re-install of iCUE Making sure that the keyboard has the latest Firmware Different BIOS setting (moving the key at the back of the keyboard to different settings) Cleaning out the keyboard, i.e taking out all the key caps and cleaning all the gabs to make sure there is no dirt / obstruction that could be messing up the keys. I also followed these: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/4-easy-fixes-for-keyboard-lag-in-windows-10/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/894040/adjust-long-delay-in-keystrokes-appearing-due-to-windows-filterkeys [ame] [/ame] I am not sure what to do anymore, this same problem existed in Rainbow Six Siege once but it just fixed it self. Specs: I5 7600K RTX 2070 Super Asrock gaming K4 Z270 Motherboard 16Gb (8 x 2) 3000Mhz RAM 128Gb SSD + 500Gb SSD Please help, I really like this keyboard and I don't want to upgrade from it. Edit2: Upon further testing, playing at lower frame rates helps, however, having only a 144Hz monitor and playing at 60FPS is not a good combination. The keyboard works better (In wolfenstein Youngblood) at 60fps than it does at 144fps for some reason, i constantly kept capping the frames to these 2 values over and over to see if this is actually true and this is actually happening. My keyboard works better when I have less frames for whatever reason.
