D key input not working sporadically. NOT hardware related

I reported pretty much the same issue about a week ago, but it has worsened.
I had to move from ESDF to WASD because the D key for going backwards was not working, and that seemed to work perfectly for about two weeks until last night. Now, the D key sometimes does not work and it definitely is not a hardware issue.
I type a lot all day for work, there is absolutely 0 discrepancies with my D key. When I play other games I don’t have any problems at all. When I test the d key alone (just going dddddddddddddddddddddd in a text editor, there is never a hiccup). When I use another keyboard, the same issue persists.
I’ve tried reinstalling the game with no success. I have not tried using another input method like a controller.
Please Blizzard or someone respond to me. Is there some kind of cache I can clear

My brother has this same exact issue with D key, me and my entire group I play with also cant use tab at end of game. Broken game smh

same problem
D key randomly stops working

I heard some people having the same issue but with A instead

Now I’m experiencing the same issue. Was never a problem until now.

Same issue, except for me, it’s the “A” key, which I use for left. It randomly stops working or lags. So frustrating. Anyone find a fix for this?

Same issue for me with the D key, anyone have a fix for this yet?

Same issue for me but with A. It comes and goes sporadically. Hasn’t been an issue for a couple months, but today it’s back with a vengeance.

So… I had to disassemble and cleanup the keyboard because of this.

been having this same issue and it only ever happens when i play OW – it happens in a middle of the game and then i have to rush to get one of my external keyboards because my ‘A’ key randomly stops working and makes me think my actual keyboard is messed up – turns out, the keyboard is fine, and tends to start working again, AFTER i close OW, its annoying
