Continuous movement after releasing a key

[c1bas3k]

Hi there,

i seem to have a problem with my keyboard. I finally realized that this is not just a game issue when it happened today in Assassin's Creed 2. Long story short, whenever i hold freerunning key (Shift + Space for me) and then turn left (A), my character keeps moving in that direction for about 3 seconds, which gets rly annoying when i am climbing or trying to escape. Oddly enough, this doesnt happen when i am turning right (D). Everytime i do press Shift + Space + A i am able to "override" it by turning to the other direction.

This happened to me in Arma 3 before as well, specifically when trying to turn my character to the left (Shift + Q). After releasing the keys, it kept "turning" for about 2 seconds.

When i try to press the first combination in my Notepad, it keeps typing A for about 3 seconds and then it stops... similar to the AC problem.

A keyboard i use is Genius GX Gaming Manticore, i do sometimes misspress Macro Recording button, but since i do not have any SW installed, i dont think that is the issue.

Even after reinstalling Windows, this problem didnt disappear, so i have no idea what might be going on... Thanks for all the help in advance.

EDIT: Seems like that in AC2 it happens when pressing Space (Faster walking) + A (Turning left) as well... my character just keeps moving to the left for about 2 seconds... really annoying

EDIT2: Ok, i have isolated the problem... it is the combination Space + A... even when pressing it in Notepad or Chrome, it just keeps typing A's for about 2 seconds...

Sounds like your "A" key is sticking, you might try cleaning the keyboard with compressed air.

Unlikely, cause it only happens in the combination with Spacebar... my A key is working when typing or when using it in games.

Sadly, it doesnt work. Interestingly enough, it adds a delay before the repeat after the first "A" is typed...

I guess you tried another keyboard already. Have you created any macros? May try deleting them.

I used to, before i reinstalled my Windows. I just installed the SW and checked again, but all macros are gone, they were stored in the folders, not "inside" the keyboard...

EDIT: Ok, i actually havent tried different keyboard cause i was like "Hey, it only does that when pressing certain combination, would be stupid to be a keyboard issue"... well, i just did, and the problem is not happening. Now this is weird, lel... sadly it didnt really solve my problem, cause i dont wanna use this cheap sh*t, i got used to Manticore and i love it... but thanks for help anyway i guess...

Nevermind, updated Firmware and it is working... glad it was something this simple and stupid. At any rate, do not understand why Genius has 2 "drivers" needed for this keyboard, but i am glad it works now nevertheless...

That’s weird. For months I have been trying to fix this same problem, I have bought a different keyboard, reset my whole pc twice, updated my pc, etc
Nothing seems to work and it frustrates me when I try to play a game on my computer.

Edit: I know this is 5 years after but still, I wanna fix this
