this is a duplicate of http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25157 (which is in Ask for help)

it is a side effect of the repeat rate hitting keys before the loop loops again to start catching input. if you intend to block typing, this is not an efficient way of doing it.

What is your goal?

my goal is to create a keyboard launcher like the Windows Run edit box, but using aliases and a tooltip displaying pressed keys

Input in a Loop will often fail at fast typing, too. It was discussed a few times in the Forum. Input was not designed to be called rapidly. Consider using EndKeys in a single Input command, or access directly the keyboard buffer. Defining all the keyboard keys as HotKeys works, too. Sometimes HotStrings provide an even better solution.
