Keyboard Lag.. ? (I don't know how to describe this)

[Snowcow]

Ever since I've had this awesome and very fast computer, the day I got it for christmas of 2015, there's been something wrong with it. The problem is that in video games, when I press certain keys it just keeps going even if my finger is off of it. This doesn't just happen in video games or steam games. A non video game related issue: I tap the shift key to capitalize a letter and then let go of the shift key. I press the letter and it's capitalized. You have to HOLD down the shift key to capitalize a letter not press it and let go. A video game related issue: in minecraft, when I press the shift key and let go for sneaking/crouching, I let go and it just keeps crouching forever until I press it again or something like that. I'm no computer expert at all. I don't know what kind of problem this is called and I don't know how to describe it. Little notes to keep in mind: no matter what keyboard I use it still has the problem. I used all three of my keyboards and they all did the same thing.. another note is that STICKY KEYS ARE TURNED OFF! Also like I said, this happens with certain keys only, it's not like WASD keys having the issue. Those are fine, it's just certain keys in video games and the shift key capitalizing even after I put my finger off of it. BTW, this probably has nothing to do with the problem but I used to have a windows Vista that didn't have the problem and the monitor I used was a 1680 × 1050. When I got the good computer I still used that same monitor I used from the Windows Vista. Please, please, please, if you have a solution, please, please.. put it in the comments below. Thank you very much.

I would suggest a new keyboard, If the problem persists I would recommend getting a new motherboard with a new USB Controller with updated OEM firmware to avoid input lag issues like this...Or try updating your OS.

But my OS is up to date, and no matter what kind of keyboard I have, it still has the issue

The USB controller is what controls the USB ports, Sorry if that sounds confusing...You'll get a much more efficient/updated USB controller that is designed to tolerate these kinds of errors, I have no Idea what causes them but Best of luck to you Brother!

EDIT: The newer the motherboard, Usually the newer the USB Controller

[Snowcow]

ok thanks, I'll try that

I'm really sorry to bother you, but, I'm having trouble finding one. Can you send me a link?

Just get a new motherboard that supports your processor/Hardware needs, Don't worry...Or you could try flashing(update) your motherboard's BIOS...Best of luck to you brother!

You haven't got sticky keys enabled perhaps?

EDIT...oops sorry, I just read the rest of your post....however you could try turning sticky keys on and then off again...just a thought.

[username12121]

Also check "toggle keys" ...make sure it's off


edit: and notice that you can tick an option that activates "toggle keys" if you hold num lock for five seconds...if for some reason your num lock key is sticking this could be turning "toggle keys" on and of repeatedly, so perhaps untick the box and see how that works.

Also if changing any of those settings in "ease of access", be sure to press "Apply" before pressing "ok" at the bottom of the screen.
