    Issue with Left Arrow Key When 'W' Button is Pressed Simultaneously on Laptop

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    In games, the WASD keys are the arrow keys, W is the left arrow key, it seems the W key is conflicting with the left arrow key.

    Try pressing the W key + Esc to release the WASD keys, if that does not work, check in the game settings to see what action the W key is assigned to.

    Right arrow key doesn't work. Have to press alt+right arrow to function normally.

    • Windows 11 Home
    • Verison 23H2
    • Custom built PC

    I don't remember when it started, but I noticed that my right arrow key doesn't function anymore. It is not a physical issue. No dust or anything of that nature physically blocking the key/keycap/etc. Happens on all keyboards I test, so its definitely a software/technical issue.

    The only way to actually use the right arrow key is by pressing ALT+right arrow and it functions as intended. Up, left, and down all function normally, but the right does not. I have to press ALT+right arrow to make it work. Can't figure it out.

    My left arrow key is pressed down or something

    Left arrow key sometimes doesn't work.

    Hi,

    I have the problem that when i press the "up" and "down" arrow keys, the "left" arrow key doesn't work. Similarly, when i press the "left" arrow key and either "up" or "down", the other one doesn't work. The "right" arrow key does work fine though. I am on a Lenovo laptop.

    Can someone help me?
