I'm having an issue with my ASUS TUF gaming laptop where the inputs for keys like WASD or arrows seem to stick while playing games such as TF2 or Minecraft. Once I press a key, it continues to register that input even after I've released the key, causing my character to move in the same direction uncontrollably. I've noticed that this problem isn't limited to just the WASD keys; it affects all keys I use during gaming. Is there a way to fix this?

Have you tried using an external USB keyboard? It's a good way to see if the issue is with the laptop's keyboard itself. Also, when you're typing in a program like Notepad, does the same sticking problem occur? That could give us a hint if it’s a hardware issue or something else.
I tried Notepad, and it was still sticking. Inputs seem to lag, especially whenever the loading circle shows up beside my cursor, or I plugged in a USB keyboard and it did the same thing.
Could it be a setting like Sticky Keys? Try going to Settings > Accessibility (or Ease of Access in Windows 10) > Keyboard and make sure Sticky Keys is turned off.
I actually turned off Sticky Keys earlier, so that's not the issue.
I haven't tried that yet. Just found out that it’s not just the WASD keys messing up; it’s any key I use for games, not including the mouse.
