    PC Keyboard Keys Become Stuck and then Unstick when Pressed Once

    Hello. My keyboard has started to "stick" sometimes in FFXIV where keys have to be pressed once to "turn on the key" and then the second press will work. For example, sometimes the WASD keys will need two (2) button presses to work, and then will work normally for a while, but then the same thing will happen later and I will need to "unstick" the key by pressing it once to be able to use it. This happens with "L", "P", "I", "U", "6", etc., to give some examples. It is the same Logitech G815 keyboard that I have always used, and it doesn't matter if Logitech G HUB is installed or uninstalled. This only started happening a month or so ago. This ONLY happens in FFXIV and NO other programs. Thank you for the help.

    Windows 11, no overlays (uninstalled Microsoft gaming bar, PowerShell uninstalled XBox bar, uninstalled AMD Adrenalin, etc.), uninstalled every unnecessary program that I could find, looked at running programs in Task Manager to see if anything could be interfering, looked at Startup programs, reinstalled FFXIV, etc.

    Hello. Yes, I should have mentioned I tried with two (2) other keyboards [so three (3) total], and the same thing is happening. I mentioned the Logitech G815 keyboard specifically because it is my favorite. Thank you.

    Hello again. Yes, I had went in and manually turned off everything that had "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" by manually going through every device listed in Device Manager, even things that had nothing to do with keyboards.

    I just found this https://linustechtips.com/topic/1283...only-in-games/ and although it seems extreme (the motherboard is less than a year old), I'm going to try it. I'll update if it's successful or not in case someone else has this issue.

    The issue is still happening even after a BIOS battery reset.
