Keyboard input issues

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help. I'm including as much detail as I can, which may end up being too much.

Sometimes when playing any game through Steam, I can begin to have keyboard inputs repeat for upwards of a full second, or inputs be skipped. This state will persist outside the game (even when closed) and often can only be fixed by a full restart of my computer. I have not experienced the issue on controller, but because the use of a controller is physically painful for me, I don't use one often; as a result, that might not mean anything but a small sample size.

I'm on a desktop computer with the following:
Motherboard: ASRock B650M Pro RS
Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Sound Card: Sound Blaster ZX (or potentially ZXR, I've had it forever idk)

I use two monitors of different resolution but the same framerate over displayport 1.2. I'm on KDE environment and have been using Bazzite continuously for over a year as a daily driver. The issue cropped up about six months ago and has been just intermittent enough I've only gotten frustrated enough to post a question today. I have googled and searched, as well as sought a duplicate issue in this channel without success.

Probably unrelated, but I get occasionally get freezes of the entire desktop environment when attempting to watch YouTube videos through Firefox. I don't add this to try and solve two issues at once, but it could be useful data.

My rpm-ostree status output is:
ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable
Digest: sha256:a1c08de46c1d1ca0cbee2249a8d7e4deef773bcae8fadf457b82398a666d6539
Version: 42.20250529.2 (2025-05-29T23:17:35Z)

If there's any other information you need, let me know.

Oh, and I have a partition with Windows on it, but I don't use it and followed the instructions given for dual booting on the documentation site.
