"w" key and the 2 key above it tend to stutter or type twwice (like so) or just fail to work at all

I use a dell g7 7588 gaming laptop, and I had already dealt with a similar problem once before. I simply took out the key and reassembled it. During a gaming session I began stutter walking. Now it not only affects the w key but my number 2 key also. Any solutions or fixes?

(struggle even typing all those "w" keys)

Hello

Could need a good cleaning or the keyboard may need replacing..

ever spilled liquid on the keyboard?
usually that's a good cause when 2 neighbouring keys go funny.

Never have spilled any liquid on my keyboard, I may just have to replace my keyboard.

Ensure there’s no dust or debris under those keys. Can you prise them up? Also try some contact cleaner if you have it & spray around & under those keys.
