Triggering Keyboard Lag / Repeated Keys

So this took me a while to figure out what was going on. So I primarily run Linux, the only exception is gaming. I periodically was experiencing the key's randomly not typing, or repeated key strokes, that I've seen mentioned here (across more than one of my WASD keyboards). 

• If boot into Linux first, stay in Linux, no issue.
• If I boot into Windows, stay in Windows no Issue.
• Boot into Linux, reboot into Windows, no issue.
• Boot into Windows, then reboot into Linux, the issue is fairly likely to happen (it just doesn't always happen right away, sometimes some time, say ~10 minutes). Unplugging and re-plugging in the keyboard will fix it generally. This happened across a couple versions of Linux Mint, and many kernels (as well as PC change / upgrade). 

Is this one of those situations I should downgrade the firmware to eliminate this issue?
