So this is a very strange problem that I noticed recently playing video games. It does happen across different games.
The issue is: the last key that I press down stutters when held down. For instance, if I press and hold "W" (to walk forward), my character stutter-steps. However, if I press and hold W and then press and hold A at the same time, my character walks forward normally but stutter-steps to the left. Additionally, if I press and hold W but then press and release any other key (a key that does nothing, for example) then the problem does not occur.
The problem occurs with a slight delay after I press down the key. It works normally for between half a second and a second and then it stutters. Every game behaves differently... moving in one game is a stutter about 1.5 times per second, in another game it's just jittery because the game smooths movement, and in that same game, pressing and holding a use button goes part way and then stutters. It's like the key isn't being held but isn't being released either and the games don't know what to do.
What the stutter is like: The stutter is as if the key is being half-pressed. Some games behave differently than others when this occurs. One game in particular cycles between the key working and not working, every period of the key working being just as long as the period of it not working.
I don't notice an issue if I hold down a key to type characters in a text field, however.
Know anything? Driver issue?
