Keyboard button presses lead to stuttering even AFTER hotfix

Since yesterday (right before and now after the hotfix on Steam) I've been experiencing stuttering that seems to be unrelated to the stuttering the hotfix was for. I experimented and it seems that keyboard button presses disrupt mouse input that leads to what feels like stuttering. I noticed this at first when switching weapons: when looking around and switching with keyboard buttons 2, 3 etc. there is a noticable stutter which is absent when switching weapons with the mouse wheel. So I went into the firing range and as it turns out every keyboard button (mapped or not) seems to cause this stuttering. The FPS and weapon sway animation are unaffected and it cannot be picked up by the net graph so I suspect that it disrupts the mouse input for a couple ms leading to a noticable stutter when looking around.

Here is a video where I look around without pressing any buttons and then I press any keyboard button repeatedly and it stutters: https://youtu.be/Ua6USYtIEPo

DICE, please fix.

    Update: I wasn't able to replicate the problem reliably by spamming every button on the keyboard, sometimes only movement keys cause the mouse stuttering described above.

    Did some more testing: There is definitely some delay in the input processing when MSI Afterburner and RTSS are opened. I tried frantically spamming movement keys WASD and moved my mouse about: The input commands seemed to "pile up" and play out heavily delayed. My character was still moving 10 seconds after I stopped touching my keyboard and mouse.

    I checked and its still there, lol, unbeleivable that they let it like this for more than a week, and probably leave it like this for holidays.. in that case I have a fix: go to steam library, right click on BF6 and and press unistall, play something else

    In short, the first 3-4 keys you press on your keyboard after launching the game are guaranteed not to reproduce this bug until the next reboot.
    So, press W A D C keys as the most necessary ones in conjunction with mouse movements.
    The remaining buttons will still be laggy, but not all of them.
    For example, on my first press W A D C, the buttons Q E are same protected from the bug, at least.
