Wasd and arrow keys act as if they are affected by some sort of drift, but only in games

Hi Dylan, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

I'm sorry you have this problem, researching on the internet I was able to find that in the forum, the independent advisor AlfredoMendoza3, recommends the following steps for a solution.

The first thing you should know is that this is a public support forum for the Xbox community, which means that we are players like you, we are not employees of Xbox or Microsoft.

If you have already checked the key, the problem may be related to some background process, so, as a first measure, I recommend performing a clean boot.

Since when have you experienced this incident? Have you made any configuration or installed any application that may be generating the error?

I can also recommend carrying out a repair check.

Sorry to hear that, please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

Is this happening only inside Minecraft or is this happening with every game?

Also, are you experiencing this on Windows 10 or 11?

Do you have installed an insider version for your system?

And, which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this problem?

In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

Hi LJ. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

The WASD keys cannot be used on the home screen, there is nothing assigned to them. To navigate the home screen, use the keyboard's arrow keys instead.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

well, after i asked about it and installed the game on xbox one, i felt unhappy that i'd have to use the controller until i found out that it's possible to play with the computer keys using the xbox app on windows 10, now i just want to know how i can change
the app controller keys from the arrow keys to WASD for my usual playstyle

I suppose that is one of the good things about PC gaming. It's incredibly rare to find a game that doesn't let you rebind the keys to your liking. Don't like WASD then you an use the IJKL or arrow keys. Don't like the mouse in your right hand, then use
it in your left.

It would be great if more console games started offering that functionality. I can't see an argument against it to be honest.
