I think this is the culprit. I have recently been forced into a unity with the AMD graphics software counterpart, Raptr component system. It implemented itself into every one of my video games. To which point, my keyboard will not function, unless I hold down the control key.
I join game: I hit W for foward. nothing
I hold control and press movement keys. works.
I open up chat box, with control, no text works.
I don’t hold control, the keys types no problem.
I used to think it had to do with launching games through steam, I did not actually download through steam. But more repetitiously, it has been proven, not to be the case.

After a quick Google search it looks like you don’t NEED raptr.
Have you tried to rebind you keys in game? For myself, every now and then a key will get stuck on my keyboard and this can cause issues.
Have you run malwareware-bytes? Do you have adblocker and anti-virus up?

It is something technically disabling them unless I hold control
