Asus advertises the G75VW as a "gaming laptop". With a pretty 17" screen, fast i7 CPU, NVidia GPU, lots of RAM, etc.
But, alas, "gamer-centric Design" circa-2012 looks in hindsight like a ROG-rebranded "generic laptop" with added backlights and bling. Your G75VW uses a cheap keyboard (part number 0KNB0-9410US00, made by Chicony I think), with simple 2-layer key matrix circuitry and a simple FTDI controller chip, a very common low-cost and low-complexity "2KRO" implementation for basic alphanumeric keysets.
You can't fix the problem without seriously modding (redesigning and rebuilding) all the electronics in your G75VW keyboard.
I'd recommend an external gaming keyboard. "Gaming-optimized" means that the WASD cluster is designed to take precedence over other keyboard regions when multiple keys are pressed. 6KRO is the best supported by the old PS/2 interface (which never requires drivers) and is quite sufficient for many gamers - USB keyboards can support "antighosting" and full-NKRO or 26KRO, etc, which will certainly not tangle up a handful of simultaneous WASD keypresses, but most of these claims are overhyped and meaningless (except for those among us who can type with 26 fingers).
I use an old SteelSeries Merc Stealth keyboard for laptop fps gaming (just can't stand laptop keyboards, too small and squishy and fragile for manly gaming). It ain't super pretty, it's certainly not portable, it's a horrible beastly thing to use for day-to-day typing, and it's utterly impossible to use for programming tasks, but it's an immovable indestructible infallible panzer for big-button smashy keyboard gaming sessions.
