Hello,

 

When I play games my control key seems to stick. The only way I can fix this is by restarting my PC, which is very annoying.

 

When the key does stick, I literally can't do anything. When I press 'S' a window pops up trying to make me save something. Then when I scroll, the webpage just magnifies.

 

I have disabled sticky keys and the problem is still occuring.

 

Thanks to anyone that can help,

Try reinstalling the keyboards drivers? Is it a razer keyboard? Mine did that with the wasd keys, onky fix was to unplug and plug the keyboard back in

Sticky keys eh.....i wonder why.......are you an avid porn watcher? heh heh

 

anyway that is your business but we can't/shouldn't help you with what happens when it is your fun time.

 

Seriously though, it sounds like you have a key combination that triggers this in windows. I would check you keyboard layout in your OS. I remember something similar happened to me when i play games on a sony laptop a few years ago and it was due to the Fn key combination from sony.

Slam the keyboard on your desk, genuinely works with mine whenever it packs up (a 10 year old Microsoft Keyboard and still going strong). 

 

If the control key isn't physically sticking, maybe that isn't such as good idea... What type of keyboard is it? Mechanical, membrane etc. 

 

EDIT: Try pressing both control keys at the same time and press any F key to see if that resets it
