Hi @krrrrr,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks for sharing the issue. Based on your description, your Victus by HP 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb2000 (9V7M9AV) is experiencing keyboard input lag and character repetition, such as:
- You have to press a key multiple times for it to register.
- When you press a new key, it types the previous character instead.
- This is likely caused by Keyboard Driver Glitch or Corruption, Sticky Keys or Filter Keys Enabled, or Background Software Interference.
Step-by-Step Fix:
1. Check for Sticky/Filter Keys
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard.
- Turn off:
- Sticky Keys
- Filter Keys
- Toggle Keys
2. Update or Reinstall Keyboard Driver
- Press Win + X → Device Manager.
- Expand Keyboards.
- Right-click your keyboard → Uninstall device.
- Restart your laptop — Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.
3. Update BIOS and Firmware
- Visit the official HP support page for your model:
🔗 Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb2000 (9V7M9AV) | HP® Support - Download and install the latest:
- BIOS update
- System firmware
- HP System Event Utility
4. Test in BIOS or UEFI
- Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly, then F10 to enter BIOS.
- Try typing in a field (like password or system name) to see if the issue persists.
- If it does, it's likely a hardware issue.
- If it doesn’t, it’s likely a Windows or driver issue.
5. External Keyboard Test
- Connect a USB or Bluetooth keyboard.
- If it works fine, your laptop’s built-in keyboard may need servicing.
I hope this helps.
Take care, and have an amazing day!
