Keyboard keys issues inside of game only.

Hello I'm having issues with my keyboard that only occurs inside of games but not in normal use, during games random keys on my keyboard will stop working randomly, sometimes it's the w key, a, d, s or another key, it only affects one key at a time but it changes randomly, the issue is that it makes the key either stop responding when I'm holding it, or not receive new inputs , I have tried connecting my keyboard to a different usb, I have also installed new drivers for graphic drivers and keyboard drivers but the issue persist I'm not sure how to fix it, it is a dekstop computer with a wired mechnical keyboard, I also cleaned the keys from dust.

It makes me think it's a software issue because the problem only happen inside of games I never had problem in normal use of the pc, at this point I'm looking for any solutions to this issue I haven't yet tried reinstalling windows and I would rather leave it as a last option.

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...
