Windows 10: 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.

Persistent Filter keys problem in Windows 10

Hello.

Recently, when playing video games, my keys started to "stick". It is accompanied by notification sound and only when pressing Shift key. For example when pressing Shift and W (running forward in game) for more than 8 seconds, when I let go of W (and Shift)
my game character continues moving forward till I press W again. I never had this problem before.

I am able to replicate it when holding other Shift and other letter for over 8 seconds as well.

In Ease of Access keyboard settings Sticky keys and Filter keys are disabled. Yet I still having this problem.

It drives me mad.

Please help.

 

I think you have dust or other dirt, caused by wear, on the contact surface for W-key. This is very normal behaviour if you play a lot.

Try another keyboard using same connection type as your defect one, to verify it is a hardware issue. If that solved the problem, then either disassemble the defect keyboard and clean it with electronics cleaning solution, or get a new keyboard.

Depending on your keyboard type, it could be beyond repair and you need to replace it.

 

According to the system data, you're on a Acer V3-772G laptop. Do you use the keyboard aswell? or a seperate board? And what games are you referring to exactly? Basic information, but important nonetheless. *Smile

 

I cleaned W key but nothing changed. Although I have a theory; I am using my laptop's keyboard and under WASD keys there is a GPU and when playing games this part of keyboard gets hot. With heat something inside W key can become sticky and that maybe casue W key to stuck. I don't have a seperate keyboard but my first job is find one and testing with that one. I saw this stuck problem with Dying Light, Elder Scrolls Online, Kİngdom Come Deliverance.

 

That's a good theory. It does explain why it happens only with one key, and only while playing games. But is the heat-transfer that bad on the laptop? Try lowering the graphics settings and enable Vsync - or any form of framerate cap - and see if the heat gets better underneath. Yes, definitely try out a seperate board too.
