My keyboard stays pressed in (During video games, and when typing sometimes), I've tried everything so far

I've gone to the ease of access center, and everything like sticky keys and filter keys was off. I went to the "devices and printers" section in the control panel to make sure Windows wasn't turning off my keyboard to save power. Sure enough it was, but after I turned that off, it still had the same problem. People say that un-checking the "save power" box solved their problems, but it hasn't really done anything for me. Please help, I keep losing in games and wasting my time when writing papers! My computer is an MSI.

All keys or just some keys?

The keys are sticking as if you hold them down - corrrect?

Unplug the keyboard. Over a cloth or some paper towels turn the keyboard upside down and firmly tap the ends, the sides, and the bottom with the heel of your hand. See if you can knock out any particles or other gunk causing the keys to stick.

May take a couple of tries - still give it a go and see what happens.

The next step will be to remove keycaps and do some direct cleaning.
