Default FMS with keyboard?

I know this sounds stupid, but is anyone using FMS with the keyboard? I D/Led it just to see what it offered and don't want to spend the money on a cable just yet. So.... I thought I'd try it with the keyboard just to see how responsive it is. However, when I hit a key to manuever a plane, it takes about 3-4 seconds for the plane to react. All graphics are updating very quickly, it just takes forever for the plane to react to the keyboard. Because of this, it is totally unflyable. I assume the Tx interface will be better, but i't be nice to get it to work with the keyboard first.

BTW, I'm running Windows Xp on a 1.6Ghz P4, with plenty of RAM, so computer speed isn't the problem...
