    Well you know the blue touch buttons? Stealth mode, CC, Wifi, Volume up, Voume Down, and etc?

    Pressing them make the game push keys and have hte keys get stuck so to get them to stop walking I have to push w or backwards again. This is annoying when changing volume in game and was wondering if there was a way to fix it?

    The only time I've ever seen that is when I hit stealth mode by accident (because why would you use it in game?), and it makes my character autorun usually. It's because those keys are usually emulated some other complex keystroke which your game also interprets as a command. As for fixing it, I'm not sure there is one unless you know how to edit the code for the media bar so it's commands don't conflict.

    Well, all those extra buttons are actually emulating key combinations for extra functions. That's pretty normal.
