XPS 15-9570, keyboard skipping keys

I have key skip on the XPS 9570 with BIOS 1.5.0. Its extremely frustrating having to press " multiple times even on a USB keyboard!
I also have GPU performance problems with Optimus due to Dell not releasing new drivers after the Windows 1803 update.

That's interesting that it still happens on a USB keyboard.  That is one option Dell wanted me to try to see if it was the internal keyboard.  Obviously it is not the keyboard.  Anyway, I have now received a full refund.  I can only suggest you all insist on a refund, maybe then Dell will do something about it.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm experiencing the same issue on my 9570, and I have the 1.5 version of the BIOS (released October 5).

The problem is least noticeable on the laptop's native keyboard (which makes sense because that's what they're testing on

It's more noticeable on external keyboards. I've tried two different keyboards, and they both have the same problem (of varying degrees).

There is an option in the BIOS to set a description under "maintenance asset tag".  Try typing in this to see if you still get the missing key problems.  Don't set it though, as once set you cannot change it again.  If the problem persists it must be hardware, if it gone it must be the Windows operating system or drivers.

It's definitely not a physical keyboard problem. I have tried it out with two different keyboards.

Hello,

I am looking for a new laptop to replace my old one and I have this particular model in focus. Before becoming an owner, I thought to do some research regarding what to expect from it.  

Most users are complaining about the keyboard, which skips keys. After reading this thread and doing some research on the issue, it seems like it is software related and not hardware, because other laptop brands have it as well.

I have a Dell Latitude E series at my workplace. The keyboard does not bother me, however after reading this thread, I wanted to see if I can reproduce the issue on it, just to see if it is software related and I might have successfully managed to make it skip keys by adjusting some Windows OS settings, but further confirmation is needed. Therefore, I ask for further verification on the issue.

Based on the statements, written in this forum thread, that some users did not experience the problem in Linux, just in Windows also on USB Keyboards, I ask you, to please try to adjust the following settings in Windows and leave a comment as feedback:

Case Windows 10:

- please go to settings->ease of access->click keyboard-> turn the Filter Keys feature OFF. (The Filter Keys option ignores brief or repeated keystrokes and changes keyboard repeat rates)

Case Windows 7:

- control panel->keyboard-> in the first tab you will see 2 options: 1. Repeat delay and 2. Repeat rate. Please play with these settings to see if it fixes the issue for you.

Test:

On my Windows 7 Dell Latitude E series after setting the keyboard option called “Repeat delay” to max Long and “Repeat rate” to slowest slow, I tested it by typing 10 times, fast, the A letter and I got only 8 As displayed in notepad, therefor I got 2 skips. Setting it to fast I got no skips.

Please test and leave feedback in this thread, maybe the settings that come with some Windows preinstalled Dell laptops are not adjusted for fast typing or it is just a typing preference. 

Best regards,

Alex

Justin,

Can you please advise whether my Dell XPS 15 9530 will be covered under the XPS 15 9570 BIOS update?  If not, is Dell working on a skipping key fix for the 9530?

Best Regards,

Mark

see navbryce post

I just purchased a dell precision 5530 refurbished.

And as I am typing this post, it is presing 3 over and over by itself, randomly, as I type.

Sometimes, its good for hours, but then itll start doing it constantly.

Everything is up to date.

I am using a wired keyboard through usb. and a wireless/wired mouse on another usb.

With an external monitor through hdmi.

Please help? or else I will return.

I will note that it is ALWAYS 3. 

and If I press shift, it seems like it makes it worse?? (just a guess based on the frequency of the problem when I press shift.).

I am having the same problem on my Dell XPS 9560 as of about a week or so ago. It is driving me nuts. Dell, please fix!!!

I'm experiencing the same problem of Keyboard Skipping Keys

After I've desactivated the auto refresh from Intel graphic, it seems that the keyboard works fine, until this is fixed by Dell.

But Im experiencing a similar problem on the trackpad, meaning sometimes a hit on the trackpad will not be taken into account : VERY ANNOYING

Have anyone experienced this problem ?
