After building my computer I found that across multiple games that I have played and tested with two keyboards that same issue occurs.

 

My keyboard and mouse will be functioning my properly then occasionally my computer will continue to input a key after I have stopped pressing it. Any keystrokes I make after this occurring are not inputted on screen after me pressing them (hence me knowing that there is a problem).

 

After fantom key press stops the inputs that I made after the input freeze are pressed. At this point I am not touching any keys. After the string of delayed inputs are displayed the keyboards go back to functioning normally for a random amount of time until the issue occurs again.

 

The best real world example of this I can provide is that I’m strafing (alternatively pressing a and d). Then in game I will begin to just move left with no more of my movements are registered. I take my hands off of the keyboard and after a few seconds I will begin to strafe again for a however long I kept pressing keys after it initially froze and will then stop completely after the delayed inputs have been registered on screen. After this it functions normally until it this randomly happens again.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Motherboard drivers up-to-date? And this only happens while gaming?

yes they are and it may just be that gaming is the only time when I'm typing for prolonged periods of time so its the only time I notice it.

Try a different USB port, including front/rear (opposite of whichever you're currently using). If you haven't, check to see if you can move the mouse normally as this is happening. Maybe try using the keyboard a lot in something else, even if it's just sitting there typing adadadadad... in a Word doc or text file while watching TV. And try is while different stress tests are going on, i.e. run Prime95 and do it then run FurMark and do it.

I have tried different usb ports and I can use my mouse fine when this happens. I will try the word document test though.

Really sounds like lag in the keyboard, very similar to what I've experience with bluetooth keyboards before, but that doesn't make sense since they're wired and different keyboards entirely. If you can get it to happen under specific circumstances, i.e. heavy CPU or GPU load or anytime, then you could boot into linux and replicate those circumstances and see if it happens, to determine if it's a hardware or software issue.

Yea it happening on two different keyboards really stumped me. And I'm not really sure what a solution would be if this is a software issue.
