D Key on Dell G15 Unresponsive

Hello,

I have a Dell G15 gaming laptop. I've had this laptop for over a year and a half now. Just this week I've started to notice that the D key on my laptop is unresponsive at times. This is most noticeable during gaming when I am using WASD for movement. My character will get stuck and not move to the right. This is very frustrating and gets me killed sometimes when it happens at the worst moment.

I've removed the key and cleaned out any dust and debris buildup, but this issue is still persisting. It doesn't occur when I am typing, but it seems to be affected by frequent pressing of the W and S keys during gameplay movement. I've also tried exiting a game while the issue is happening, and it does persist for awhile but then fixes itself and the D key is responsive again. I once had to mash D 14-15 times just to get it to type the letter one time after closing out a game. I want to add that the entirety of my time typing this post, the D key has been normal and responsive.

I have tested this across multiple games and it is certainly not a particular game issue, especially considering that it does happen when typing after gaming. What could be causing this issue? If I have cleaned the keyboard properly, what else can I do to try to fix this? I really don't want to resort to buying an additional keyboard or use a controller all the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
