Sluggish Keyboard in Linux Mint 18.2

My keyboard tends to be slow and also skips some random keys which I hit. This happens only when I do things like renaming folders or search for an application in the search panel (nothing of this sort happens when I type in Chrome or any other application).

This may be helpful in fixing the issue:
