Windows 10: Laptop Keyboard - "W" Key Staying Pressed Down After Release

I am currently using a Gigabyte P55w v7. I've had this laptop for 3 days, however bought it used. It gets pretty hot during gaming, so I'm thinking this issue may relate to overheating. The keyboard worked fine the day I got the laptop, however it began to act strangely the day after, and the problem cannot be ignored any longer. The "W" key stays "pressed down" for a while, even after I release it. Seems like that the longer I press down, the longer it stays pressed down. I've been having this problem only with the W key. The "W" key is important for gaming, and usually stays pressed down for a while. I thought that there might have been an issue with the game, but it happened in notepad, and every other application too. I removed the key cap, but found nothing. The membrane looks fine and pops back up right when I release it, however the W key keeps inputting even when the membrane is back up. I have absolutely no idea how to go at this. Any help?

W key stays pressed after long press

I have been using my Dell Inspiron 15 7547 laptop, for a year, it has only been sent for repairing once (Screen stopped working, they did nothing to the keyboard) for pretty much everything. And about a month ago this problem started happening. When I leave
the w key pressed for a long time, it stays pressed for a while.

One of the many things I do, and probably in which I spend about 60% of my time on the laptop, is playing video games, and my client is modded, so I thought that maybe it was a glitch in the mod. I tried uninstalling the mod, but it still happened. So then
I went to Word, and did the same stuff, and I discovered, that it also happens in there.

Then I decided to test something, so I put a stopwatch on my phone, and I started it at about the same time as I started pressing the key w. After 25 seconds of pressing it, I released it, and it stayed pressed (Not really down, but it types the letter w
as if it were) for another 5 seconds, then I did the same, but I pressed it for 50 seconds, the key stayed pressed for 10 seconds. If you didn't notice yet, both 5/25 and 10/50 are 0.2, so I got to the conclusion that for every 1 second my w key stays pressed,
0.2 seconds accumulate, and so, when I release the key, depending on how many seconds I pressed it, let's say for example 3 seconds, the key will stay pressed for a number of seconds times 0.2, in this case, 0.6 seconds. At this point I couldn't believe it,
so I searched on the internet to see if anyone had the same problem, and I found people with this problem, but no solutions. I tried the same test, but removing the key, just pressing the pad, and it had the same effect.

If anyone has this same problem/knows how to solve it please tell me

UPDATE #1: Now it's about 0.9 seconds per second

 

Windows 10 Laptop Keyboard Keys Acting Strange

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

• 
  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.

 

Double quotes key requires second key press.


Thanks but the list is so confusing (it only shows non-shifted and none of the formats match (my) actual keyboard physically) and I am not sure if it is a selected Language or keyboard issue. I have now gone with English (United States) w/ UK Extended keyboard and English (United Kingdom) w/United Kingdom Keyboard, apart from five Bulgarian w/various keyboard options. The upshot is that using my Win+shift method of switching, I can never get the double quote back where it appears on the keyboard (it is always swapped with the @) which, in a sense, is fine because I never have to press a second key to get it to display and, as I used to have a 50/50 chance of hitting the correct key (" or @) , so long as I remember they are swapped, I can get it right 100% of the time.
