Keyboard Lag playing games?!

Hi all,


I recently purchased a Logitech MK520 set. Yes, I understand that wireless is not the way to go when gaming, but my situation seems so strange. When I first started using the keyboard, it was lag free. I confirmed this by playing some Tetris online (yea I'm lame :/) and the actions were lag free.

A couple weeks later, I noticed that my keyboard would not respond as instantaneously as it used to. For example, when clicking the address bar on the top of my browser, the keyboard failed to register my presses and I'd end up with something like: "w.tomshardre.om" The keyboard would just kinda spurt all the letters out at once. Furthermore, my keyboard has been acting up while playing games. I think this is tied to the graphics card performance (I have a GTX 650 ti). I used to have another keyboard, and I realized it would start to lag during Left 4 Dead 2 but ONLY when I had forgotten to turn on my Evga Precision software. Once I started Precision, my fans would speed up and cool my card down. When my card reached a stable temperature, I wouldn't lag anymore. This brings me to my current problem. Even playing CS: Source starts a lag session after playing for like 30 mins. But for those first 30 mins, my keyboard is flawless.

Does anyone understand why this could be happening? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!
