    I have noticed a fairly consistent pattern when using my Windows desktop keyboard versus my Macbook Pro's.

    While my desktop keyboard allows me to press and hold and register one key immediately after another, I can't seem to do this on my Macbook. For example, I'm attacking monsters on the right, then want to quickly turn left, then press and hold attack button. I can do this seamlessly on my desktop keyboard, but my Mac requires me to wait very briefly after turning left before pressing/holding the attack button. (Or jumping then hitting the attack button before landing. Works on desktop keyboard fine. With Mac I have to wait a bit.)

    My "Delay Until Repeat" is already set to its lowest setting.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks all.

    Set delay until repeat to short.

    I clearly stated in my OP that the key delay setting is set to its lowest.

    Newer versions of macOS have an accent menu that appears when you hold down a key (thus preventing key repeat). According to this page, here is what you need to do:
    1. Launch Terminal.
    2. Paste the following and hit Enter: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
    3. Restart your app for the new change to take effect.
    4. To revert this behaviour, use this: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

    let me know if this works. This occurs during my leeching as well. I thought it was the keyboard problem.

    I've tried this before. It simply changes the effect from "accented key popup" to "key repeat." Definitely good, but doesn't fix the issue.

    Thanks though.
