Movement keys sometimes stop working

[sparksie]

Sometimes while playing CS:GO, a movement key (wasd) will stop working for a moment. This may also apply to other keys like reload and grenade binds and whatnot, but of course I don't use those as often as movement and haven't noticed them.

"Stops working" can mean either I'm holding the key down to move forward and the character suddenly stops, even though I'm still holding the key; or the key doesn't respond the first time when I press it. Letting up on the key and pressing it again always works, but of course that's not ideal. There have been many times when I turned to run away from gunfire but just stood still and got shot to pieces since the movement didn't register. The game itself isn't laggy at all and I'm not getting low frames or anything like that.

The problem started around three weeks ago-- I got a new mouse right around the same time, but I've tested with several mice and the problem persists regardless of which mouse I'm using. I've heard people say that it might be a matter of the computer only registering a certain number of keys at a time, but that can't be the problem since this happens whether I'm using mulitple keys or not (and of course, I've been playing fine long before this started happening). I've tried verifying the CS:GO files on my computer and 2 were re-acquired, but I'm still having the same problem. This also can't be a ping issue, because I've got low ping and I still have problems when I'm offline with bots.

Is anyone able to shed light on the situation?

For anyone still having the issue i managed to fix it by running a scan with Malwarebytes probably any malware cleaner works but i scanned my pc and then restarted my pc and it worked

Having the same problem here, I have a Razer Blackwidow Chroma (obviously has antighosting) and whenever I use WASD keys they randomly stop working for like 1/4 a second and continue working and this can happen many times in a row. I don't have sticky or filter keys enabled, gonna try to clear downloaded cache, verify integrity of files and run Malwarebytes too see if it works. This doesn't happen in any other games like CS Source for example.

Okay, I've been having the same issue here, if anyone wanna still tackle this I'm sharing what I have.
My keyboard is a motospeed k27
used a key tester with and without game running, What It got is: Keyboard will nearly every single time have a problem with the double key press but only with W (for me thats the key) but mostly when A+W or F+W, no other keys suffer from the same fate.
With the game closed there are no troubles with double key pressing (not even 10 key pressing)
My secondary keyboard does not get the same problem (still too weird to be faulty hardware)
Although secondary keyboard will not register more than 2 inputs and some very specific inputs will also not work like G+H (there are specific pairs like this)
Wiped clean my pc, 3 days later same problem showed up at WOW, but now Q+W are the magic keys, did not retest all other keys.

My view on this is that it's software related, maybe a faulty windows configuration or keyboard is conflicting with something else.
could also be a priority problem (did not check it out though)

brand new REDRAGON MITRA keybord here and the same problem. my problem is the D key , specially when i press it with the W key. it worked so fine till now (2 months using the keynoard). it works fine with any other program.... thought it was because of the broken fang thing but i can see now its a old unsolved problem.... :/

Hi, sorry to bring this up, I am having this problem too (in Wow) with all keys, I try to walk and my char makes one step, stops, one step, stops...

This is what I tried without luck:
·Rebinded keyboard to make sure it wasnt W fault (it happens with all keys)
·Restarted PC
·Unpluged and pluged again keyboard
·Changed USB port
·Run troubleshooting for keyboard
·Opened Device Manager, went to Keyboards, deleted all hardware and reinstalled again
·Disabled sticky keys and filter keys
·Update windows
·Reestablish an old version (a few days before the day started)
·Malware

I am looking for my old keyboard, this is such a shame, this faulty keyboard was almost new (The G-Lab Thellurium).

when i type mayus+key I sometimes get the same character a lot of times.
Do not know if it is related.
It definitely is a software problem either of windows or between windows and some keyboards...

all i got for you is that when I pressed harder it didnt happen, maybe a difficulty registering the input, after sometime i could press lighter

I am having also key issues. With a Ducky Mini 2 keyboard, but also when the problem is there and i swap it with another Ducky keyboard, the problem still exists.

The issue specificly is that 98% of the time CSGO works fine, even playing for hours, but sometimes after playing a bit (never in the beginning of a game) the movement key mostly A, but sometimes S-D-W stop working at all, or stop working for a bit.

I have sticky keys everywhere disabled. Re-mapping the keys ingame doesn't help. When i switch to windows when this issue starts, the same keys work totaly fine in Windows/a key tester. So it seems to be 100% CSGO related. No other games have this issue.

The weird thing is, when i verify the integrity of the gamefiles, it says it fails to aquire 1 file which has something to do with DirectX. When it's done verifying and i start CSGO again, CSGO installs DirectX again, and the keys work fine again for some time.

I also tried deleting the whole game (+folder) and reinstalling, done that 2 times already but doesn't help as well.

If anyone has any other idea's, please, let me know.

It's not, here we are 3 years later and my keyboard is working fine.
His is 8 years, so it's probably dead anyways

I have 3 keyboards: Laptops own, "Death Stalker" 10 years old and "Ornata v2" 2 weeks old. With all 3 i'm facing same issue. Holding some of WASD keys, stop responding sometimes.

Which is good indication that the keyboard isn't fault, I found out mine was usb ports and drivers

[ＳＷＩＦＦＬＥＥ]

I don't have jump bound to any of my keys, I have it bound to MW DWN.
Regardless, once in a blue moon I'll sometimes jump at random just from random keystrokes with my hand off of my mouse.
I've tried to trigger this a few times and cannot reliably cause it on purpose.
Anyone else have a similar issue?

I found issue. It was due to "Punto Switcher" app.

[xman20003]
