Hi,
Ok, that's pretty much ruled out then.
Another stab...
With Workstation Player 16.2 there's another big change for Linux.
As the release notes show, it now adds support for a Vulkan renderer and it will use that by default for a number of GPU's including Intel.
See:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/16.2.0/rn/VMware-Workstation-1620-Pro-Release-Note...
From the looks of it the Intel UHD Graphics 620 is indeed available for Kaby Lake.
Please check this:
https://wiki.vi-toolkit.com/index.php?title=Vmx_hacks#Linux_Host_-_switch_back_from_Vulkan_to_X11
also read the link back to VMTN as it has more details.
Now to be frank..
Personally I don't know why this would make a keyboard slow and if that happens I would imagine that simply turning off 3D acceleration also fixes this.
But then again.. also don't know why this would be an issue for NVIDIA. However as these issues might be related, I'd figured to give you this tidbit of info as another thing to try and/or rule out.
Good luck!
