Key commands don't stay pressed.

Hi guys, I've been having this on and off issue where occasionally in some matches my keyboard keys won't stay activated. I only really notice it with my wasd and e keys but I don't believe that it's a keyboard issue since no other program has a similar problem. In game it will act like I've stopped movement in a direction then continue creating a weird and disruptive stutter walk. When planting or defusing spike it will randomly cancel. Basically it acts like I let go of the keys when I haven't. It's inconsistent and doesn't seem to be a repetitive and consistent on/off. Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions? Thanks for your time! Edit: ping and frames seem stable according to the charts.

this is most likely a network issue. try enabling the graphs for network RTT and Packet Loss. look for any spikes when this problem occurs

Hey, thanks for the feedback. That's what I thought too! But when I check the graphs that I keep enabled it says that nothing's dipped. I'll continue to keep an eye out. Maybe I missed seeing data by a second or two. This most recently happened last night and I was consistently at 39 to 40 ping all game. Maybe it's a packet loss thing as you've said. Got a chance to mess with setting a bit. I've currently locked my fps to the refresh rate of my monitor. It seems to help quite a bit. I also double checked my physical keyboard and found that the w key has about a 5mm inconsistent activation compared to the others. In other words it's resetting earlier than the other switches. Most likely due to just wear and tear. I'll be replacing said switch and I think I should be fine.
