About a month ago my W key started auto pressing and just moving on its own is there any way that I can fix this? It's not physically getting stuck.

    Thank you this was such a big help. 
    So turns out this only helped I tried the solution and after testing I realize it only fixed it on applications such as discord, but in-game I have a second delay before my character stops. It definitely improved the problem, but didn't one hundred percent solve it any other suggestions? At times, it seems like it wants to go back to a full loss of control, where the delay is longer than a second. (ps. My friend also has this issue and the solution also didn't 100 percent work for him, but at times his key also just completely shuts off in-game while he can still use it to type would greatly appreciate a solution for both of our problems.)

    As i stated in my other reply try to setup another key to see what happens also is the issue bound to a single game or all games if its just one single game might also be an issue with the game itself there are so many variants to consider from hardware (worst case scenario) to software  but i hope u manage to get it working properly :)
