Keyboard can't press 3 keys at a time?

[CmdrJeffSinclair]

Hi everyone,

I'm sure this is normal for a LAPTOP KEYBOARD for my Alienware M17 but I'm wondering why when I play a game that if I press two keys down (like W+S to move forward and strafe left) my keyboard won't recognize any 3rd press.

So say I'm running forward then start to strafe left and THEN I want to jump....that 3rd press cannot be recognized until I lift up on one key.

Why can't I press 3 keys at the same time? I have a G600 gaming mouse and I can press 10 keys at a time without issue.

If I bought the Logitech g900 Orion Spark keyboard, would this issue go away? I mean it's minor but it does cause me to alter gameplay

Issue should go away I have the g910 and I have had no issues. Please know what you are buying before you drop 180$ on a keyboard though.

Got the software loaded?

So is the g910 worth the dough for someone like me? I doubt I'd ever use macros but I wanted it for its new key switches

No.

Get a Corsair K70 (non rgb).

The G910 is just an expensive Christmas tree.

This choice is about personall prefrence I have the k70 non rgb and I am not a huge fan of it. I prefer the keys on the g910.

but the k70 if you can find the non rgb model is not a bad deal.
