Keyboard problem

Asked Aug 15, 2011, 05:23 PM — 5 Answers
Hi.. First of all I'm an Asian..I'm really sorry for my english.. I have a keyboard that works perfectly fine when I'm typing..this is sony vaio pcv rz24g..but I'm having this problem whenever I play a game..I have lots of game here on my pc.. When I'm playing nba live 2007, counter strike, spiderman 2, battlefield, my player will stop walking when I press 3-4 buttons at the same time.. E.g. Playing nba live (baseline low camera view)when my player is running, I'm pressing the up button so it will run forward, but when I press up + left button, so that my player will run to north east.when I pressed this key, my player will run to north east but when press up button again, it will stop runnin.. I'm a gamer so this is really annoying for me.. Please help me please...... Here's a link for a same problem (in case you don't understand my problem) http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?t=64274

Modern keyboards only recognise 2 or LESS key presses, so your 3/4 is causing an error state.

Time to learn how to use the mouse for movement.

There are specialized gaming keyboards that you can look into that eliminate ghosting. That is the name for the problem you are experiencing. Quite common.

I use the Logitech G15 personally and have had great experience with it for gaming purposes. Depending on the keys, I can push up to 6 at a time.

USB. This is pretty much your only option in order to avoid ghosting.

Another common problem is the profile that is set for a keyboard. Some games require non stock profiles.

I use a G15 also. Works good but I'm not impressed with it. The support for the LCD leaves something to be desired. Lol
