Keyboard Problem

[KieranMB]

Hi there

I wasnt sure if should put this under games or under hardware because its keyboard problem i experience while playing games, sorry if i put it in the wrong section.

But anyway, when i was small i liked to play racing games where 2 ppl used one keyboard on one screen basically, like need for speed 2, hot pursuit, and games like wacky races or kart. But we always seemed to have problems where it seemed that too many keys were being pressed at once. What i mean is like the guy using the aroow keys is pressing up and turning, then the guy using letter keys would have to let go his forward key if he wanted to turn left. But now aswell with newer racing games in single player where you would use nos or something by holding an extra key down, you cant turn left again if holding forward at the same time but can still turn right once again. This happens not only with me but also with my friends pc's.

Its not a serious problem but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Welcome to CTH.

Do you all have the same keyboards?

Are they USB or PS/2?

[KieranMB]

Well for the older games we were using ps2 keyboards and now they all USB...

I guess this is all on the same game? Might be the game itself.
