Delay from keyboard causes unnecessary errors
I've reported this in the past, and I'm shocked and frustrated that nothing has been done to resolve it: There is a delay between when a button is pressed on my keyboard and when Illustrator registers it. As someone who has used this application for over 20 years, I'm very fast. As a result, when pressing (for example) the OPTION key in order to do anything (like changing the direct selection tool to the Group Selection tool) it takes an additional half of a second for Illustrator to register the change. Considering the speed at which I work, this means the key I clicked is not acknowledged in time, and the wrong command is executed. This also happens in Photoshop but doesn't happen in non-Adobe applications, which leads me to believe this isn't due to a low battery or something outside the application. The last time I opened a case on this subject I had to let it close as I couldn't afford to waste any more time waiting for a resolution, but I am at my wit's end with this nonsense.

Kiff, this is not a general behaviour, at least for me, with those machines I have access to. When did you start to notice this? Can you check this problem for versions before the latest release?
Can you also record a short video demonstrating the problem?
Also please provide full specification of your machine.
