if you update to ICS and you don't like it, you have 2 options

1) take your phone to a Sony repair center to downgrade your phone

2) use flashtool

Do you know how long it would take for them to downgrade it? Like would it be done on the same day?

Noticeable lag? And is it possible to still play games on it?

there are some games that don't quite work, and it shouldn't take more than 1hour to downgrade flashtool takes few minutes.

there are issues with some games not working with ICS, as for the keyboard usually games do not work with the keyboard but you should check each game.
