    my w key sticks not physically when playing games or holding for around 10 seconds


    ive checked under my w key and everything looked normal, i've updated my keyboard drivers and I've tried trouble shooting it, i also have the latest updates to windows 10. i also have disabled sticky keys. when im playing a game, i would be walking in the game, and when i let go of the w key to stop, the charecter keeps walking for about 1-5 seconds. this also is the same when i hold down w in the notepad or on a search bar, it still acts like its being pressed for 1-5 seconds. the other keys dont seem to do this though, i can hold the other keys for as long as i want and let go and it will stop. is this a fixible issue? thanks in advance.

    :)

    Keyboard holding down keys (not physically) when I hold down the key for a several seconds.

    For the past couple of months, as described in the title, I have been getting an issue on my Laptop with my keyboard that holds down a key (not physically) after I have held it down for several seconds. I first noticed this when I was playing Minecraft where
    after holding shift to crouch for several seconds, I'd let go and I was stuck in crouch for a couple of seconds. Even if I repeatedly press the key while it is happening, it doesn't fix the issue and I have to wait for it to stop holding the button down. From
    what I've seen, it can happen with multiple keys, holding shift in Minecraft and holding x in Celeste. It also doesn't start happening immediately, where for around the first 10 minutes of playing Celeste, this issue doesn't occur, but then starts happening
    out of nowhere. When it does start happening, I have tested it in other applications such as Google Chrome and Notepad, where the key is still repeatedly pressed for a few seconds after released.

    I have looked at filter-keys and sticky-keys neither of which appear to be the issue. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard driver, this has not fixed it. Any ideas as to what could be causing the issue would be appreciated.

  3. Only 'W' key stucks while playing games.

    While playing games, W key have been started to stuck. I mean; when I stop to press W key, my chracter still moving forward and after 2-3 seconds it automaticly stops moving. This situtiation only happens when I press W key for 2-3 seconds. Only happens in games and only happens for W key.

    Things I tried;
    -Disabled Anti-virus, Razer Cortex, MSI Afterbunner etc.
    -Unchecked 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'
    -Updated drivers

    This problem makes impossible to play games.

    My W key will get stuck, but isn't physically stuck

    Long story short, and I've only noticed this within the last three weeks, my W key will sometimes get stuck when I'm playing video games. Never when I'm typing, only when playing video games. Except it physically isn't stuck, as once I tap it, it pops
    right back up. I have already spent a fair amount of time cleaning it out, and it has not fixed the problem.
