Mac OS causing keys to stick while gaming?

While playing games, seemingly at random the WASD keys will act like I am holding the key down after letting go. Only once I have pressed the key again will it register that it has been let go. Happens pretty randomly, and I haven't been able to tell what's causing this to happen. Something is causing it to not register the key being let go. Issue happens both with wired keyboard and wireless. Usually happens more often after the machine has been working for a while.

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.
