OBS causing issues with keyboard while running

Over the last few months, more like the last year or so, I have noticed an issue with OBS causing some sort of interference with my keyboard while running it. Whether it is just simply typing in the chat, or trying to move in a game. I don't have this issue outside of running applications while OBS is running. It seems that something is causing my key presses to become interrupted either by the keys not registering, the key constantly registering even when not being pressed anymore (i.e. end up with one letter 50 times or will continuously type the letter or move my character until I hit another key), or wont register the key presses at all. Its starting to be come rather frustrating, I thought it was scenes causing the issue, even thought it was some of the sources, heck i even thought it was my USBs themselves, but alas there is something within OBS causing some sort of issue and I can't seem to figure it out.

I've tried running OBS as admin, non admin, in safe mode....but nothing seems to be fixing the issue. Again, I don't know what is going on or why and would really like to have some help trying to figure out what is going on. Ive attached several logs from the last few hours of me testing different things out and trying to trouble shoot, all of which are offline testing, one of them might be during a testing stream....Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

OMG I thought it was just me!! I've been troubleshooting for weeks trying to figure it out and it does look like OBS is the culprit for me too!!! Same exact issue with having the keys lock (ie - 50 of the same character) and intermittent skipping.
