So for some reason I cannot press more any other key in combination with the typical movement keys for games W A S D. I am pretty sure it was never like that before. I did just do a fresh in install of windows 7. I have checked everything I know of that could cause this and still no luck.

Google the term "keyboard ghosting". Microsoft should have a pretty detailed article on it, since they attempted to develop a gaming keyboard themselves. It's a well known issue that applies only to rubber membrane keyboards (like every laptop keyboard in existence).

Ok well i know there is a way to fix it and it only seems to do it with the movement keys.

It only seems to do it when you try to do a combination of any of the movement keys together. Such a W and D to move forward and right. But you can press W and any other key besides A S or D. Same thing applies to the A S and D key. Its very weird.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from asterik216 : "Keyboard just started ghosting"

So has anyone experienced this before? I know the keyboard did not do this till just recently. What makes it super weird is the fact that it is only the WASD keys that do it and ghost. They only ghost if any of those are press at the same time. Although i can press one of those keys and anything else and it works just fine.

Dust, dirt, grit, water, sweat, all can cause shorts across the tiny leads under the rubber membrane. See if disassembling the thing and giving it a thorough clean fixes the weird key presses. If not, I'd call it a faulty keyboard and try and get it RMA'd. However, seeing it is an ASUS product, good luck with customer service. You'll need it.

As it's a G75, I'm sure it's out of warranty. A replacement keyboard shouldn't be very expensive.
