I have had an issue for years that I couldn't pinpoint to a root cause (I'm strongly inclined to think it's a kernel issue). I bought a CM Storm Quickfire TK keyboard with ABNT2 layout.
The issue is: every time I try to type any key that is not a letter or number one, the computer freezes for a full ten seconds before acknowledge the press and showing the character. Tried a bunch of Linux distros through the years and the issue persists. On Windows it works flawlessly.
Just give up trying to debug the problem, but I still have this hole in my heart where the cause of this issue lives.
If the keyboard has the same problem in multiple distros, surely the problem lives in the keyboard? Maybe you had a bad one.
Why does it work in Windows though?
Maybe there's some glitch going on that Windows can ignore or self-correct for but Linux can't. Such things are not unheard of in hardware.
