Is this something new? Does it affect you? Be truthful. I actually kind of like the keyboard lag.

I get it with my Android tablet on certain webpages and forums, xoomfuroms ironically enough. But I've never noticed it on my iPhone 4s at all.

Its a little annoying to me at times. Its certainly something I can do without.

Be truthful? Who lies about keyboard lag?

You'd be surprised. If you type slow, you will not have a keyboard lag. But if you type like 100 wpm like I do, there will be a lag. Is it more likely to hapless on different phones? Is it software I hardware?

I find that the keyboard lags, but it still picks up everything I type. Maybe keyboard lag is not a problem, maybe its just that we're typing too fast.

I love keyboard lag.

I'm so god-awful slow, no way any keyboard could lag behind me!

Cuneiform writing on clay tablets happens quicker than my typing.:eek: :D

I get keyboard lag, but usually only if I am typing into a forum or something. I type pretty fast (never actually checked, would assume around 90-100wpm), and it's always fine in apps, texts, etc. Once we hit Safari, the lag starts. I have seen it be VERY bad, to the point that even going at a 20wpm pace would show a notable lag.
