What is wrong with my computer? key board mouse or what?

When I am typing messages in yahoo mail firefox, etc

letters won't print. the vertical flashing typing bar sometimes disappears then i hear a zing sound and get half a word.

I have Grammarly. My keyboard and mouse have wires, is it time for wireless? My setup is Acer computer with Acer mouse, and staples keyboard. ALSO when i was in photoshop,

moving pictures around, the cursor would move and a second or two the picture would move.....You computer people probably know, but I'm a new guy...Thank you.

    If there is a delay between when you press keys and when they appear, that is a *software* problem. It might be your OS, or it might be the website. Hard to tell without being able to see it in person. Swapping your hardware likely will not solve this problem.

    If certain keys do not seem to work, or only some of the time, then you will need to replace your hardware. It doesn't matter whether it's wired or wireless. Going wireless means you need to keep track of the device's battery life, and dealing with possible interference from things like mobile phones, microwaves, and other wireless devices.
