Why is myKey Object skipping some input?

I have my program set up to blast keystrokes to another comp and about 1 in every 15-20 wouldn't make it, so I thought the packets were dropping but now I find they aren't.
If I am typing in notepad and set my program to write the same stroke in an edit box the same thing happens BUT if I set the frame rate to 30 then it rarely happens but anything more
than that causes lots of missed input; at 1000fps im missing around 1 in 10 . Any ideas? I have no clue on this one. I wanted to run the program at at least 100fps.

Edit: After more testing I found that I may have just gotten lucky a few times because I ran at 30fps some more and had missed nearly as much.

Are you using lacewing and its blast function? If so, be aware that by design this mode of sending data is prone to loss. If you need guaranteed data delivery then use the other methods for sending data.

I was, until I narrowed it down the the keyobject itself. I now simply made a program with only keyobject and an editbox that detects if 'a-z' is pressed then populates the edit box and the same thing happens

So you're saying that it is missing keystrokes on the computer where you're actually typing then? If so, is there a regular pattern to this? Every x keystrokes for example, or is it more random than that? How fast are you typing and can you post a screenshot of the conditions that you are using to test whether a key has been pressed to help to debug this one for you :-)

yep, same comp. No regular pattern. I tested it like 20 times in a row and 3 times i might get perfect results and then the next test I'll get around 10-12% drop. I am typing at about 40wpm.
The notepad pic shows just a quick test I did. It's random and might drop in the beginning / mid or end. Thanks for the help!

Also now I am just testing with a counter and pressing the keys one at a time rapidly and can see it just stop adding for a brief moment while im still typing : /

Well I think I figured out why it's doing this but no idea how to fix it or if it is even possible.
If I am typing fast in notepad and the fps drops at all in the MMF app then it will occasionally miss a key depending on the framerate drop.
It doesn't look like there is any type of queuing system or w/e they call it, for the keyobject.

Have you tried detecting with the built-in keyboard conditions?

I get stable results when detecting keypushes and keydowns from 'Repeat while any key is pressed'...

Yeah, I need to detect the press from outside of the application. I think I figured out a way around it but it's a pain.
Basically switching the condition to 'is key pressed' rather than 'on key press' + each key w/it's own condition + my own timings has so
far yielded perfect results.
