What is wrong with this keyboard. Feels like it ghosts somewhat alot. I just bought this laptop, had it for 2 days and had to change it to new one(since i tought it was just bad luck with the model i had). However the new one does it aswell: Keyboard keeps ghosting in FPS games (Example CS:GO). Sometimes i need to re-press some key for it to work again. For example: If I keep A pressed, and press CTRL and something else "Fast" - "A" randomly stops working. So i have to re-press it to take effect again. This is not happening all the time, but in random situations. Was not expecting a "Gaming" laptop to do such a thing. Any tips?

Welcome to our humble abode, the family and tech-friendly house of HP Forums!
I'll be your host for the day, they call me the Riddle_Decipher and so shall you.
- Does the issue occur when you've connected to an alternate or external keyboard as well?
- Did you turn off the filter & sticky keys? (If not, try the below steps:
- Click Start, and type keyboard in the Search box. Then select Change how your keyboard works under Control Panel.
- Remove the selection from Turn on Filter Keys. Then click Set up Filter Keys.
- Remove the check next to Turn on Filter Keys & turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed for eight seconds.
- Click Apply, click OK and then close the Ease of Access Center.
- The keys should be more responsive.
While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:
If two or more characters appear when pressing a key or one doesn't work as it should use the following steps to adjust the key repeat delay:
-
Click Start, and type keyboard in the Search box. Then click Keyboard under Control Panel.
The Keyboard Properties page opens.
-
Set the Repeat delay slider to Long. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Let me know how that pans out
I will have a colleague follow-up on this to ensure it's taken care off, in case you don't respond in the next 24-48hrs,
As I need to know if the issue has been resolved, to get proper sleep at night.
Feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon,
Followed by clicking on 'Accepted as Solution' as it would help the community gain more knowledge and have a great day Ahead!

Thank you for replying with this detailed response,
I appreciate your time and efforts,
If the external keyboard works fine while the internal doesn't, this could be a hardware malfunction,
I recommend you refer to my private message for further assistance:
