What's wrong?
Description
A severe keyboard input issue occurs on an internal laptop keyboard using Omarchy OS. The keyboard randomly suffers from a perpetual key repeat loop (spamming characters endlessly) combined with an extreme input delay/lag on the initial keypress.
Adjusting the repeat_rate and repeat_delay inside hypr/input.conf does not solve the problem; lowering the repeat configuration to zero stops the spamming but triggers an unusable typing delay, while standard rates cause immediate character looping. This behavior indicates a synthetic key event synchronization bug or buffer queue deadlock within the input subsystem handling on certain AMD Ryzen laptop platforms.
Hardware Environment
- Laptop Brand/Model: Axioo (Mybook Hype 5 series)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5
- Keyboard Type: Internal Laptop Keyboard
Software Environment
- OS: Omarchy OS
- Display Server/Compositor: Hyprland (Wayland-based)
- Input Driver: libinput / xkb
Steps to Reproduce
- Open any terminal or text editor on Omarchy OS.
- Press and release any key on the internal laptop keyboard.
- The system either fails to register the keypress immediately (severe delay) or gets stuck in a loop, spamming the character endlessly until a hardware reset or configuration reload.
Expected Behavior
The internal keyboard should register keypresses instantly with normal responsiveness, and release key events promptly without entering an infinite repetition loop.
Additional Context & Troubleshooting Attempted
- Tested with an external USB keyboard, which works perfectly fine without any delay or looping issues. The issue is strictly isolated to the internal laptop keyboard handling.
- Attempted to modify
input.confvalues (repeat_delay = 0/repeat_rate = 0), which successfully suppressed the looping but caused severe latency on the first keystroke. - Resetting the
input.confback to the default Omarchy configuration (repeat_delay = 600,repeat_rate = 40) brings back the combination of heavy lag followed by an uncontrollable character spam loop.
