While using the W+Shift key, the shift button toggles on and off, causing issues for gameplay. This only occurs when pressing "Shift+W," but works normally with other buttons. It appears to happen only during gameplay. I've checked every game and confirmed it only occurs while playing. It doesn't seem to be a keyboard problem since it functions correctly when the game is closed. If the keyboard is the issue, why does it work otherwise? It might be related to a macro or mechanical aspect. Please help! Untitled.mp4

Sticky keys is turned off already. It only appears in games. The keyboard button isn't broken since I tested the game on my laptop, and it's functioning properly.

I don't know this keyboard brand personally, but if it has a driver/software, uninstall it, restart your system and see if it helps. Sometimes with some brands the keyboard software tend to do special things for games, and if there is a bug it can hinder the experience of the user. So just to rule that out, try this. If the problem persist, you can install it back. Same applies if you have other software that tweak things, like Autohotkey, software KVMs and such.
