Question My keyboard keys get "stuck" in games while in a Discord call ?

[Evil_a7a]

Every time I open a game while in a Discord call, most keyboard keys get stuck in the game and only get unstuck after pressing them again. And when I join the same game while not in a Discord call, the keyboard gets back to normal. It doesn't get stuck outside of games, it only gets stuck in games and virtually. Is there any fix to this? It only started recently, and has never happened before.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

What games? Make and model keyboard?

Are you using any pre-programmed key functions and/or key press combinations?

Try another known working keyboard on your system.

Try your keyboad on another known working computer.,

Determine if the key problems stay with your computer or follow the keyboard.

Pretty much all games, I also noticed it happens when I have a game on which uses a lot of fps. My keyboard is the redragon kumara. I do not have any programmed keys.

If you open the game before opening Discord - what happens?

It's completely normal, no lag, nothing.

Okay, then do that - open the game first then Discord.

Should not really be that way or make a difference but sometimes we just need to go with things....

Discord may have some bug that may quietly get fixed and the order of game and Discord being opened becomes mooted.

In the meantime, embrace the "normal".

Just my thoughts on the matter.

The problem isn't discord itself. It's only when I join a call on discord, I thought you meant before joining a discord call.

Three scenarios:

Gaming only - no problem.

Gaming while Discord is running - no problem.

Gaming while Discord is running and joining a Discord call - PROBLEM.

Feel free to add to or otherwise edit my scenarios as applicable.

There are a number of ways to delve into the problem(s) a bit more.

Take a look in Reliability History/Monitor. Do you see any error codes, warnings, or even informational events being captured just before or at the time of the keyboard's keys getting stuck.?

Other tools that can be used are Task Manager, Resource Monitor, Process Explorer. Anyone or all three tools (use them only one at a time) may reveal some change when the keys start to stick.

May take some trial and error to set up and be able to watch the tool to determine what happens while gaming in Discord, joining a call, and the keys stick.

Overall, if there are no readily apparent problems then reinstall Discord. That might resolve the problem.

I have also noticed it happens when a game or anything is using lots of cpu/ram, (I have an i3-3rd gen cpu, and 12GB of ram.) So I think it's a problem with the cpu and ram being used highly.

The reliability monitor doesn't seem to have any errors, warning of information events captured related to one of my games or discord, In task manager I noticed most of the time I open a game it uses almost always 80%+ or either cpu or ram. Though that has been happening for a long time before this issue.
