I don't have your hardware so I cannot confirm what you experience. Sounds like a problem with the plugin as you mention, open a issue on GitHub.

By the way, have you experimented with the message delay setting under the advanced menu? Setting it to 200mSec or maybe even 100mSec might speed things up?

I have not tried that. Isn't that only related to the controller though? I am not using any right now. I will give it a go...

No it's related to how often it is polling the plugins, at least I think so. I use it when I need my switch presses to be more responsive.

Changed it to 100 and 10 ms and cannot see any difference. :(

Just in case anybody is interested I purchased a HT16K33 keypad/matrix driver chip and set it up and it behaves the same. Still have to wait a few seconds between keypresses so that they are not missed. This chip is designed for this sort of thing so I thought perhaps it would behave differently. Guess thats what I get for thinking... :roll: Oh well.
