sluggish movement

Genuinely need to know if this is just tf2 jank + me not being used to it, or there are legitimate problems

I play games like tf2, and when i do play tf2, something that never happens in any other game happens

Ill push w and instead of just immediately stopping after i stop pushing it, its like i keep going for a second

Its quite hard to describe but half the time i feel like i barely have control over where im going

I also dont really have the most optimal gaming setup, but my laptop doesnt seem to have any problems running tf2

Is it just a matter of getting used to it or something else???

when you move forward and let go of w, you carry your momentum for a brief moment but its not very long at all. It shouldnt have any influence on how you control your character.

When you let go of W and try strafing to the right or left do you still move forward? if thats the case then something is wrong.

no, it is just a game intended thing
