(z,x &ctrl) keys not working

Z, X, and Ctrl don't work unless I'm pressing another key. Ctrl won't work unless I press the key twice.
For example I have to do Ctrl + C twice in attempting to copy something. It writes c the first time and then copies anything if possible.

Ctrl + v won't paste unless you press it multiple times. Otherwise, typing v works fine

I can't type z or x just by pressing them alone. I have to type them by pressing multiple keys at a time like z + a or z + shift
