Keyboard drivers convert input from the keyboard hardware into electrical signals that alert the processor that there is data being input and that the keyboard events should be entered into the Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem (GWES). The driver is also generates the proper Unicode characters from these keyboard events.

It seems that many owners of the Eee have had a serious complaint about the Asus keyboard drivers. According to the posts I’ve read, most complain of a keyboard lag and even at only 80 words per minute, the system can’t seem to keep up with the user.

Most users have been totally frustrated by the problem and ready to trade in their computers or at least their motherboards.

Eee WKB Keyboard Driver V1.3.1.0 for Windows 7 32bit (WHQL) to the Rescue

The new driver fixes the problem of lag time. Before installing version 1.3.1.0 of Asus ET2002 Keyboard Driver for Windows 7 make sure it will work with your current operating system and device model.  Do this by checking the  release notes.

I also recommend you create a restore point in case you install the wrong device driver.  Let us know if this driver fixes your problem.
