Hello,

is it normal that ALL USB-versions of the PicoMite firmware have missing characters / slow response if typing "fast"?

I already tested this on previous versions (now I switched to the latest release) and thought "well it probably is fixable by setting the options for repeat rate and so on..." but this doesn't cure the problem. For me the USB-version of the firmware isn't usable at all. I can't force myself to type slow. In another thread I tested some recomandations for repeat rate etc. but none of this helped. USB seems to be too slow.

Is there any solution with a second Pico acting as a USB-to-PS/2 converter? I am aware of the ps2x2pico solution by the user "No0ne" (https://github.com/No0ne/ps2x2pico)
but this doesn't work at all - especially I need a German layout...

Greetings
Daniel
