maybe a problem with your keyboard drivers? Try a reinstall and see if that helps.

if what he said doesnt work, try using compressed air to clean your keyboard. if both of those dont work maybe u should get a new keyboard.

Itachi Warfang · Oct 14, 2006, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Itachi Warfang · Oct 14, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Use ur mouse and (W) then turn any deration with ur mouse.That what i do

Itachi Warfang · Oct 14, 2006, 01:34 PM // 13:34

Or change ur control by hiting f11 then go to control

It could just be a poor keyboard. The fact that it's new does not always mean that it's good. I understand that you probably don't want to hear that.
I bought a Labtec keyboard a few weeks back to replace the Logitech one that decided to conk out on me (The Logitech worked beautifully before then

) and I found that the Labtec's keypress signals were too erratic for games and not as constant as the Logitech's.

Is it a wireless keyboard by any chance?

A Leprechaun · Oct 14, 2006, 04:46 PM // 16:46

yes it is wireless why?
and no its not just lame because the D key does work but just not when i W is pressed and i have already changed the controls but the F key didnt work with E either
and yes itachi that is what im doing atm

moriz · Oct 14, 2006, 06:03 PM // 18:03

some keyboards just don't allow certain keys to be pressed at the same time. for example, i cannot move foward, strafe right, and hold down the cntrl key at the same time. really, really annoying when trying to solofarm.

Sereng Amaranth · Oct 14, 2006, 06:19 PM // 18:19

I also cannot use 3 keys at the same time on my Logitech keyboard.

A Leprechaun · Oct 15, 2006, 09:16 AM // 09:16

yes m ines the same as that but i cant run forward and turn left at the same time its so so so annoying for anything especially farming

this same exact thing happened to me while in arborstone. all i did was map out to another city and it worked again.

A Leprechaun · Oct 15, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

no this keeps happening its very rare for mine to work

The Pointless · Oct 15, 2006, 01:00 PM // 13:00

Erm, OK, after all this, nobody ever thought to ask about the make and model?
Guess I'll have to:

What's the make and model? Example: Logitech Cordless Desktop LX300

ThunderStruck · Oct 15, 2006, 02:19 PM // 14:19

Wait, you have your left and right messed up. D turns right and A turns left...

Scorpion Boy · Oct 15, 2006, 02:24 PM // 14:24

Typo maybe?

CyberMesh0 · Oct 15, 2006, 02:36 PM // 14:36

Some older keyboards (and newer wonky ones) do not allow more than two keys to be used at once, I had this problem with one of my keyboards and I promptly trashed it. As for the wireless ones I do not know how I can help, I haven't had experience with those.
