Epic E piano problem

So guys,i just got a used electronic piano and will start taking piano lessons next week. But I'm having this epic lag problem when I use a USB to connect it to my laptop ~ :i: I press a key and can literally count to 3 before a sound comes out of my speakers. I have a decent computer (windows). Is this a sound card issue, or do I need a controller or something? Help! Thanks

Are you just using the onboard soundcard for your computer? Because if so, that's at least part of the problem, but I don't know much about midi.

Do you see any indication of the DAW getting the midi signal in? Like is there also delay between you pressing the key and the DAW getting a note on message?
If so, it's highly likely that there's a problem with the piano itself.

could just be to do with incorrect buffer size settings?
