    The "w" key is stuck when only playing games. How to fix?


    Keyboard has been playing fine for a long time but just started to get stuck on w. Don't notice it when I'm typing or using any other functions besides games. Have tried testing out different keyboard and different ports. No luck. Tried reinstalling the keyboard drivers/force updating. The only temporary fix has been restarting computer. It'll play fine for thirty minutes ish and then go back to being hard stuck. Can't seem to find the issue. Might have to wipe and restart my computer.

    :)

  2. 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.

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

    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.

    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.
