Laptop: Moving when pressing W does not stop when releasing button?

[Jacra]

I've seen that only on my laptop but this is not the first time (and happens in several certain games on several laptops we have here). Pressing W makes you move forward. Releasing W - avatar keeps moving forward for a while (correlates with how long W was pushed). Hitting ESC or another direction or TAB does not make it go back to normal (no movement without pressing a button).
This is deadly with a ship when you land on a planet, as you immediately lift off again ("W"!), rinse and repeat until you have completely drained your thrusters. I tried changing the controls for flight forward to another button but it never accepts/activate them, just red overlay of the assignment and ignored ingame.
Anyone a suggestion?

Maybe google "windows sticky keys"
And make sure that's not on, not sure if that would even cause your issue but worth a shot.
Otherwise it's a hardware issue or some software bug or feature with your laptop.
I'd vote hardware issue.

It happens on more than this laptop and in more than this game - and only with the W button (gone if I swap the button to F1 for example). And no, no "sticky keys" on, but it is definitely a movement key issue. The 4 buttons, WASD, can trigger it, they are treated differently by software with some games at least, I think due to a special hotkey feature or such.

i neever heard of this issue before, must be something specific at your situation.

Yeah, totally never happening to anyone.
