This is the reason I don't use Alex as my main voice, the keyboard lag drove me crazy. It is a tiny feature of my old window-eyes that I miss. You could change the speed for typing, mouse, screen, etc.
My only suggestions are, switch to Samantha compact, or change the keyboard echo. Maybe try only having words echoed.
