This post is pathetic.
Problem description: I have an interesting issue where my keyboard becomes unresponsive in Metro: Last Light or Skyrim. Other games work fine. Any key press in game does not work. Alt-F4 is working on the keyboard as normal but any input the game asks for (esc or enter or a mapped key like walking) do not work if the game has focus.

Attempted fixes: I've tried different keyboards with the same result. I've also reloaded drivers, turned off any possible interaction software that might be used to configure the keyboard. Both games are verified via Steam. Razer keyboards come with software and such to get more use out of it. I uninstalled those and removed any listings for the keyboard in device manager then rebooted.

Recent changes: No

Operating system:
Specs: Windows 8.1 (latest updates)

System specs:
Black Widow Tournament Edition keyboard
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.8GHz

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Edit: Discovered another game with the same issue. This time, I got more luck in googling the issue. It is Raptr and the Steam Overlay. I feel very stupid.
