My keyboard can only do two things at once.

    I'm not sure if this is a keyboard or a game problem, but like the title said, I am limited to two things. Say I'm holding space to hover with Tank, and holding w to move forward. I am now incapable of using any of my skills, opening the scoreboard, etc. Any solutions?

    Yep, get yourself a new keyboard

    The standard HP desktop keyboard is actually very good as far as anti-ghosting for the usual FPS keys, and fairly cheap

    I recently got a Rosewill gaming keyboard with pretty good anti-ghosting for very cheap (like $10), but it seems they're either out of stock or discontinued

    More expensive mechanical keyboards ($100+) will often have n-key rollover, meaning you could theoretically press every key on the board and have them all register properly.


    Anything labeled as a "gaming" keyboard by logitech, microsoft, razer, saitek, etc. will probably have decent anti-ghosting optimization based on a WASD layout.

    My logitech g11, according to that application linked, reports up to 7 keys accurately, no matter which 7 they are.

    Considering I could only be pressing 8 keys + space at any given time, I'd say that is a reasonable amount.

    Yup, just get a keyboard that features anti-ghosting.

    The cheapest gaming keyboard I know that has that is the Microsoft Sidewinder X4, and that lets you press up to 26 keys - something that could come useful if you had 2 players on the keyboard, I guess.

    I don't know much about Saitek as they don't supply products here in my country, but the Logitech and Razer's solutions tend to come at hefty prices.

    I would use the test at top to set the controls to keys that can overlap.

    Yes, you end up scattering direction keys and skill keys all over the place, but at least they are useable at the same time.

    On the other hand, wired type-s controllers seem to function optimally with this game. Wonder why? :roll:
