i got this red dragon s101 today, and it's been harder to play games because when im holding down shift it will kind of just let go of shift with the slightest finger movement? if im not pressing down really hard, it'll stop holding shift, even when the key is still pressed down. Not sure why this is, and i'd like some feedback. Sorry if i posted this question wrong or in the wrong spot, im new.
 
if you only got it today, return it for a replacement

I would really suggest another brand as I seen enough problems with Red Dragon hardware on here already.

its a membrane keyboard and that model has problems with shift

I have the same knock off keyboard, and I think its not just "broken". If you notice, you can use R.SHIFT on any key that DOESN'T have an underline (yuiophjkln) and left shift on the others. It has somthing to do with it being a gaming keyboard as to not accidently push control keys or something.

if thats true, its really dumb as I never seen shift restricted to certain keys before.

others report holding shift stops you pressing any other keys at same time
