Hello, fairly new to linux and fedora. I have an odd problem.
Sometimes, when I hold a key on my keyboard down it repeats 20-30 times all at once and then begins repeating normally, as if the events are not being processed in a timely fashion. Most of the time the key repeat works as normal. I first noticed this in nvim while I was scrolling up and down with the j/k keys. Most of the time it would scroll normally (one line at a time) but every once in a while it would skip 30 lines and then continue to scroll normally.
Here is my setup:
Operating System: Fedora Linux 44
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.26.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
Kernel Version: 7.0.9-202.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 32 × AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor
Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.2 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
Manufacturer: ASUS
Keyboard is a Razer blackwidow (wired)
Keyboard settings:
- Generic | Generic 104-key PC
- Key repeat = true
- delay 600ms
- rate 25/s
(note that this issue even happens in the “test area” within the keyboard settings
As I said I first noticed this in nvim I have since found that it IS happening using these applications or tests
- sudo libinput debug-events
- nano
- Keyboard settings
- Konsole
- Ghostty
- Tried a different set of USB, both in the back and on the front of the computer
It does NOT happen if use the following
- firefox
- obsidian
- tty console
I am down for any suggestions and can post additional information if needed
Please help. Thanks
