Question My arrow keys cant hold more than two notes at a time

my old computer didnt have this problem but with my new one if I press more than two arrows at the same time the game wont read it. this is a problem since a lot of my stepmania songs require you to press more than two keys at a time especially with holds, then I lose big time on my score.
my computer is an old macbook but my Acer PC worked fine with all the arrows. is there any way to fix this

Play around with this tool until you find a setup which registers all 4 keys at once. Make sure to try combinations of letter keys+numpad keys (eg. Q W Num8 Num6).

If you're having the same problem with FFR, I suggest using spread (A S K L). Before spread, i could only play songs up to the 20 difficulty, now I can play 40 songs without fail most of the time after 2 weeks with spread.

Yeah, but its cheap what do you expect? theres still plenty of setups that you can use to hit quads and even some where you can hit 6 at once.. I have 3 k120s and a gaming keyboard. They last years as well.

Its most likely your keyboard. Normal Keyboards are only set up to press 2 keys at once, once you hit a third they don't register.

Gaming keyboards usually allow 10 inputs or more(Like the whole keyboard). The term is called ghosting

TLDR get a new keyboard thats gaming grade.

Ok then...so I guess I just need a new keyboard, which blows I was really hoping to not have to spend money.

The laptop that I had that didnt have a problem with how many keys I pressed was pretty good but I didnt think it was a "gaming" computer, it was a used Acer I got at a pawn shop for like 200 bucks. It wasnt even strong enough to play WoW or even Hearthstone very well on but it ran stepmania perfectly

Just get the Logitech K120 for 10 bucks online. I played on this for years and got great scores, and was easily able to press many combinations of 4 keys.

post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis

this. it still has ghosting, but most key combos should work. like i'm pretty sure all 4 arrow keys can be pressed at once. it really is a great keyboard.

Default Re: My arrow keys cant hold more than two notes at a time

I had a similar issue. I figured it was because keyboard electronics on most keyboards run in parallel with other keys on the same row, meaning they can only take a certain amount of different key strokes at once (usually the limit is two). I dealt with this issue by using Z,X, K, & L. Having two keys on two different rows of keys allowed me to surpass this bottleneck.

Some keyboards though have individual pathways for each key, so there is effectively no limit to how many keys you can click at once.
