keyboard starts jittering when holding a key
So, I've first noticed this in minecraft, and I tried it in other games, and majority of them had this problem. If I press a key, let's say w in order to move forward, and I hold it, because, ofc. I want to move forward, not just do one step, for like a second or so my character will go normal, and after that it will stop, go, stop go, like I'm spamming w at half a second intervals. The "timer " "resets" if I press another key, so if I'm holding w, and I notice that jitter, so I just press a, jitter will stop for w too, for another second or so. It's really annoying

P.S. I did many things on my PC so I can't pinpoint what might have caused it, but the biggest thing I did was update my graphics driver(I have gtx1060 6gb), so I don't know how a graphics driver could mess up the keyboard, but that's a possibility

I checked, it's off. I tried turning it on to see what happens, and nothing changed besides it started giving audio whenever I press a key and that audio seemed interesting.
When it's normal it plays audio when the key is pressed, and when it starts jittering the audio keeps playing quickly, like vibration motor set to a low speed, only the sound is higher pitched

Do you have a different keyboard to try? This isn't something that should normally happen.

There is a setting for key repeat speed, but this should be irrelevant for games which usually only detect whether a key is down or up, regardless of how fast it repeats. You can try adjusting the repeat speed to see if that helps but normally it shouldn't even affect anything.
