Repairing permissions has helped with that a great deal for me. For now I would 
do that after each and every update, no matter what it is, even if you don't 
always do that. I also had the added realization this afternoon that my 
Logitech K811 was having problems especially would happen when I got into mail, 
but my other keyboards were working fine and a logitech k811 on my other 
computer running Yosemite was fine. So perhaps I let the battery get too low 
before charging or something. At any rate, the typing feedback is pretty much 
back to normal for me now.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)
