    The triple arrows problem

    Hi,

    I wonder if anybody have the same problem as me.

    When I play a song with some triple arrows, I'm only able to do 2 of the 4 possibilities with my keyboard. Keyboards seems to just not be able to perform this by the way they are built.

    Anyone with this kind of issue?

    Some keyboards won't accept three buttons being pressed at the same time because of their internal wiring. You'll have to either find yourself aother keyboard, or find another key configuration that is working correctly.

      Do you play one handed? When I used to play with the arrow keys the same thing happened to me.

          Its just the keyboard. A lot of keyboards wont register 3 buttons pressed at once. I have had a few like this, and changing my button configuration never solved the problem.

          I will use musical lyrics for my siggy.

            Usually even crappy keyboard will be able to hit at least three if they are far enough apart on the keyboard. Also generally letters will be able to hit more at a time then other buttons.

                Yes, I had this problem when i used only the arrow keys. Switch to 1235, or some other arrangement and see if this works.

                  If you want to hit a triple, slide it. For instance if you see LUR do (LR) then U really quickly

                    Lol, lots of keyboards are junk, like the school ones will stop registering repeated key-strokes.
