Hi there I don't have an extra computer to test both keyboards on but thankfully that won't be necessary. I unplugged my Steelseries keyboard and tried my old Logitech K120 keyboard using the same port my Steelseries one was using, with the Logitech K120 the issue is gone, using a different port with the Steelseries the issue still happens, so it must have something to do with the Steelseries Keyboard, it's 2,5 years old after all and the "W"-Key is the most used one so I guess it unfortunately is just worn out and GW2 happens to be very sensitive to it unlike when I normally use it to write in Discord or play a different game. Thanks everyone for the help! Topic can be closed.

It could be that there maybe is some issue with the DX11 update, it's still strange that it only affects 1 Key tho' and not the whole keyboard. I am not using any macros or overlays or any 3rd party tools. I am mainly playing Warrior, I haven't checked with other professions but the issues occure all the time just while walking around normally, out of combat or in combat in both cases. I will try to upload a little clip later to showcase it.

Hi there! Yes, it's only the "W"-Key it's happening with, I tried the other keys like A, S, D etc. and they all work as they always did, no random dodge rolls or suddenly staying still and not walking anymore.

Greetings everyone! As the title states, since Wintersday my game suddenly startet to have response issues with my keyboards "W"-Key. I, as many others probably, use the "W"-Key to walk / move forward in the game, this has been thus far no issue at all for me, but suddenly during Wintersday the "W"-Key got very unresponsive with the game, and it only happens with GW2, outside of GW2 the "W"-Key still works perfectly fine, while writing or using it in other games I have 100% correct and instant response using the key. But when I want to walk in-game my Character suddenly either starts to walk and just stands still, if I keep pressing the "W"-Key down after a few seconds the Character will start to walk again, sometimes my Character just does a forward dodge roll like as if I pressed the "W"-Key twice in a short time which I don't, I just press it down once and walk straight forward. Or when I am doing a jumping puzzle, that's where I noticed the issue first during Wintersday, my Character won't keep jumping forward, he just jumps but stays stuck in the air and then falls down which is very annoying in jumping puzzles like the one from Wintersday... I use the SteelSeries Apex 5 Keyboard, I clean it regularly, I got the newest graphic drivers for my RTX 2070 Super and the newest drivers for the keyboard itself as well as GeForce Experience and a freshly installed the game itself as well. As I stated before, I have no issue with the "W"-Key itself outside of GW2 so it does work fine still like the rest if my keyboard but just in-game of GW2 I have these issues with the responsiveness. If anyone has experienced such issues beforehand and found a solution or has any pointers for me where the issue could stem from I would really appreciate the help! Thank you all in advance for the help! Attached are screenshots of my ingame settings.

Hi I just wanted to throw it out there that imo. the pistol 4 & 5 skills need a increased radius to be actually useful because with this melee range radius you barely ever connect the damage to the enemy especially when skill 5 pushes you back while unloading it. Or they need a complete overhaul otherwise the "new weapon" the bladesworn got (Besides the gunsaber) is completely useless and will not be used at all in any game mode which is sad. I am looking forward to use an actual pistol bladesworn build in the future. (Pistol support in traits would also be a welcome option to increase range among other buffs) Thanks for listening.

Thanks a lot! This helped fixing it for me as well 😄 Been trying to solve this issue for 2 days now and was just about to give up... I wish I could upvote tis thread or something so the Devs. would notice this issue and fix it.
