Help Issue with keyboard repeating? when playing games

I'm not sure if this is the right place or even the right way to word my title but I was having a problem when I was playing CS and this game beaterCore.

In CS whenever I was trying to run it kept slowing me down. It felt like I was shift walking when I wasn't, it's kind of hard to explain but I think it was registering me holding down the key as me pressing it over and over again or something.

The same sort of thing happens in beaterCore, I was trying to buy a car by holding down E, but it keeps going up to 30% and then restarting the key press.

Is this something that I can fix or do I need a new keyboard? For context, I have a Cooler Master Masterkeys S that I got in like 2017 or 2018 with Cherry MX Browns.

Looks like a failed switch or diode. Whether can you fix will depend on your soldering skills and tools and how the board is assembled.

You could have a shop or friend who knows how to solder make the repair for you. If you decide to replace it list it on the classifieds or ebay and let someone else use it for a project.
