W key stuck and forced to look down in game, please help!
So I bought firewatch last night and just booted it up today, immediately I noticed in the title screen all the option were being rapidly scrolled through as if I were holding down W, if I held down S it would stop, I could click on the different options and it did the same in the options tab. I decided to start the game to see if it would stop in game but as soon as I gained control of my character I was forced to walk forward and a new problem appeared, I was forced looking straight at the ground and I couldn't look around. I tried opening a couple other games to see if they had the same problem but it's just firewatch, I also tried doing steams verify inegrity of game cache thing but no avail, I also tried restarting my computer ofc, still nothing. This is only happening with firewatch which sucks cuz I really want to play the game. I can't find a fix or even anyone with the same problem anywhere, anyone have any ideas?
TLDR w key is stuck only in firewatch and mouse is being forced to look straight down, tried all normal fixes like restarting and verifying game cache but nothing helped, only happening in firewatch no other games. Anyone have any ideas???

Hi Jowenbra, you may need to unplug other input devices, like flight sticks, racing pedals, etc. If you don't have any pluged in, you may need to remove Vjoy or another virtual joystick driver.

I know this has been a dead thread for a long time. but I have exactly the same issue. I've unplugged each thing I have connected. Nothing seems to work.

I have joy to key but its not open. Not sure what else to try.
