Game won't recognize multiple keys pressed

[plunix 0]

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my game recognizing multiple commands at once. Run + Forward + Strafe will not work. I can only Run + Forward or Strafe. Also, I can't go from Run + Forward to pressing crouch so I transition to a Run + Crouch. I literally have to stop to input a new command. What is with my game?

 

Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard, reinstalled drivers too.

I snipped this straight from an article that popped up on google .. I have no experience with the x6 personally.

It is probably about time to give an example to bring things into context. The Microsoft Sidewinder X6 keyboard is a fairly recent gaming keyboard that is frequently criticized for its anti-ghosting capabilities or lack thereof.  With this particular keyboard, the common complaint is that gamers can't press certain 3-key combinations like:

• Ctrl + W + R (Crouch + Forward + Reload)

In this case, after pressing the first two keys (Ctrl + W), the third key ® doesn't register. While key combinations like this may not be used by every gamer, it is a real problem...even with keyboards like this marketed towards gamers.

Thanks so much. I'll try to look into this further.

 

This does seem to be a new issue though. Years of Counter-Strike and WoW on this keyboard have been flawless.

You'll only have this issue with certain key combinations. I would recommend saving up and investing in a mechanical keyboard, especially if you're playing CS. :)
