[Solved] USB keyboard lag issues

I am lately having keyboard issues in archlinux. Sometimes the keys won't get registered at all, and sometimes the keyboard does not work at all. Like if I physically pressed h e l l o it would show up  as heo lo or similar. But sometimes it just works. Sometimes when I press a key, it is not registered automatically and if I press it twice or thrice the result will be delayed but the key will be repeatedly typed by itself.

Sample video

First I thought may be my keyboard is faulty, but then I tried to use it in other device(an android tv and another windows PC) it worked finely well.

Then to check whether it was a problem with the distro, I changed distro as well but it occured there as well. Same when I installed Windows.

I tried reseting BIOS, nothing changed about the issue. I also faced same issue while navigating BIOS menu.

Also I tried different keyboard but it was the same.

My keyboard: Logitech K120 wired keyboard

Re: [Solved] USB keyboard lag issues

How did you fix this? Recently running into the same issue, tried multiple different distros, usb cables - on Windows on the same machine everything is fine, on any linux distro it is not!
