I was thinking about getting this game but I am a bit worried now.

I was gonna get this game for the steam summer sale (I know its discounted right now but I wanted to save up some money for it.) but I saw a few articles saying the game is sluggish and slow, input lag stuff like that. Since I don't have the greatest pc, was wondering if this would be a problem? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Specs:
GTX 1650 (laptop)
AMD RYZEN 5 5600H
Directx 12
12 gb ram

Nonsense. Anyone claiming input lag is either playing with lousy monitors, or playing well below the recommended requirements which is something you have put in effort to do with a game like Shovel Knight that can run on most machines today. You should be able to run Shovel Knight just fine,

Shovel Knight should be able to run perfectly fine on even somewhat older PCs. I originally played the game on a PC that I got in 2014. The game ran amazingly well even back then and I've never once experienced input lag in the game.

The gameplay isn't sluggish or slow at all, either. You've just got to be careful in a lot of sections as the while not one of the most difficult video games ever, the game nonetheless doesn't pull punches on difficulty.
