I think I finally fixed the touchpad/keyboard input lag when on battery. I actually found two solutions that you can try. First of all, the cause was a Nvidia driver issue and it had something to do with the unwanted "GPU 1 Copy" process in Task Manager. Solution #1 was to simply update the Nvidia driver to the latest version by going to their website. I thought I had the latest driver version but I guess I didn't. DON'T RELY ON THE CONTROL CENTER OR GIGABYTE'S WEBSITE FOR THE LATEST DRIVERS BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE OUTDATED. Solution #2 is a bit mind-boggling. All you do is run the Dragon app which is one of the preinstalled apps and for some odd reason it seems to stop the lag.

Lag was still there the next day despite updating Nvidia drivers, but now I think I figured out a real solution after a ton of testing. You have to also set the preferred graphics processor to AUTO-SELECT instead of Nvidia in the Nvidia Control Panel. Then shutdown the laptop and the lag should now be gone the next time you turn it on (simply restarting it didn't seem to get rid of the lag). Maybe keeping it on Auto-select was the solution this whole time. I had it set on Nvidia from Day 1 because I've heard a few people recommending it. Bad advice! It must be one of the Nvidia graphics card settings in the Nvidia Control Panel that was causing the lag when you set the Nvidia card as the preferred graphics processor.

Run DDU in Safe Mode with Networking. Do not go into normal Safe mode because you might end up getting looping errors about it not detecting an internet connection. Once you're in DDU, select the Nvidia card on the right. Then Clean and Reboot. After it finishes uninstalling the old drivers, your pc should automatically restart. If it says there's a program preventing the restart, ignore it and restart anyway. Then after it goes to your normal boot up mode, run the new Nvidia driver setup file and choose Custom Installation instead of Express and make sure Clean Installation box is checked. Reboot your pc one final time and now everything should be fixed.
