My keyboard hates me.

haroskyline · 12-5-2007, 03:22 PM

It wont let me hit all four arrow keys at the same time, is there a way to fix this? Without getting a new keyboard..

Agreed.

Well, there's not much you can do. If you play SM, you can go to Test Input, and test your keys, until you find a set of four that will register together in one sequence.

If you can't find any keys that will work, there's really nothing else you CAN do, except get a new keyboard. A cheap keyboard works well, surprisingly enough.

This happens between different kinds of keyboards. The one for the old computer I played FFR/SM on was able to handle 3/4 arrows at a time. The new one, however, only does 2 and randomly does 3. It's all a matter of the kind of keyboard.

Turn off numlock.

If that doesn't work get a cheap USB keyboard, they work fine and cost around $10.

just use ahk and switch it to some letters to use all 4, the arrows suck!

my keyboard doesnt read all 4 arrow keys if i hit them at the same time also, but uhh, that doesnt affect my scores.

My laptop keyboard can only read 2 arrow keys at maximum.

My laptop has tiny arrow keys.

I do better on my laptop.

My old keyboard (and my current laptop too) couldn't register more than 3 simultaneous presses... And that was the main reason I switched over to spread. Maybe you should make the switch too :P

Thanks.

I'm guessing spread is using like.. g,b,n,j?
And yeah, I didn't know where to post it. So whatever, idc.
