  1. "W" Key keeps "sticking" in games or dosent function


    I have been having this problem for a month or so now after one of the updates. In games like COD Warzone and Subnautica the "W" key will stick without being pressed for 5 seconds almost to the point or will not read my presses for the same amount of time. I have tried all the recommended things like uninstalling the keyboard drivers and letting them reinstall upon restart. Also, ran a full anti-virus scan, checked sticky keys. It is not a mechanical issue as this is a brand new Rog Zephyrus a couple months working perfectly before problem and no problems with typing. Thank you

    :)

    Function keys won't work w/o hitting Fn key also

    So how do I get to BIOS + what do I do when I get there? The keyboard came with the new computer. Not impressed with any of it + especially Windows 10. The function keys clearly have their use listed on the key, but they won't work w/o the Fn key. That's definitely not right.

  4. "W" Key keeps "sticking" in games or dosent function

    Games keep crashing on Windows 10.

    Hi,

    I would like to inform that the games which were working in previous Operating System may or may not work in Windows 10 due to compatibility issues. I suggest you to check for the latest version of the games which are not working, check compatibility
    with Windows 10 and install. If the latest version is not available or if the games are not compatible, suggest you to install the games in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below:


    • Download the setup files for the game nd save it on your local disk.

    • Right click on the setup file of the game and select
      “Properties”.

    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    • Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

    • Let the game install and then check thefunctionality.
    Let us know the status of the issue.

    Regards,
