Thanks Will, this led me to a fix. I tried the suggestion in the link (go back to X11) but it didn't help. But disabling 3D acceleration seems to work. Fortunately I don't need it.

After the upgrade to 16.2.1, it is still not fixed. The lag I have today is at the end of a keystroke - takes about a half a second for the last keypress to appear. Good grief.
Update - it's not resolved with voodoo in my last reply. It's delaying today, but strangely, instead of delaying on each key press, today it is delaying only on the last keystroke when I type a few c...

Update - it's not resolved with voodoo in my last reply. It's delaying today, but strangely, instead of delaying on each key press, today it is delaying only on the last keystroke when I type a few characters. This is not nearly as unworkable, but it feels like working over a slow remote desktop. You'd figure something as ubiquitous as a keyboard wouldn't be an issue for VMWare.

I stumbled on something. I noticed Printer marked Connected and Connect at power on. I don't remember what these were set to before, but I don't have a local printer, so I turned them off. To my surprise the keyboard started behaving better, but not fully fixed. Then I turned the printer back on (Connected/Connect at power on), and the key delay didn't get worse. Great. Next I turned off USB Controller Share Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine. Ah! the keyboard works properly. Then I turned USB Controller Share Bluetooth back on, and keyboard is still OK. Weird stuff. It makes me wonder if it would have been fixed by toggling any arbitrary setting in Hardware.

I took a VMWare upgrade today to 16.2.0 build-18760230, and now, my Ubuntu 20.04 VM (hosted also on Ubuntu 20.04) has poor keyboard performance. An initial keystroke has a delay, and sometimes I get several repeated keystrokes. If I hold down a key, as a key repeats, there will be short pauses after 10 or so characters - the repeat is not smooth. In general this makes it very hard to use the VM and get work done. >:-| Can I roll back this upgrade?
