Hello, I did a bit of searching, and found some of the following listed as reasons a keyboard might slow down or change response rate:
o Dead or failing battery installed in laptop o ATI or nVidia hot key keyboard polling service installed o Sticky Keys or other assistive technology turned on in Windows o In Device Manager under Battery, disable ACPI control o Adjust keyboard repeat rate in Control Panel o antivirus program (antikeylogger?) o reset Internet Explorer to default settings Windows Vista Specific: http://www.watchingthenet.com/windows-vista-tip-how-to-fix-slow-keyboard-response-after-upgrade-from-windows-xp.html Windows 7 Specific: http://keyliner.blogspot.com/2009/11/windows-7-slow-keyboard-response.html (seems to recommend same fix as Vista one, above) Many of these issues were reported with Dell and Acer notebooks, with a scattering of others (SONY and Hewlett-Packard). I did not see any of the above specifically mention a T43 or even ThinkPads, though. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky At 10:00 AM 11/24/2010, you wrote:

The T43 trackpoint becomes disabled when I plug in (as above) the ext kbd's mouse (trackpoint) cable. If I unplug latter, the T43 native kbd produces instantaneous action on screen. If I reinsert the ext kbd's mouse cable, the delay resumes Jeffrey Race
