Key Presses Not Registering

So I just got my R3 a couple days ago. I'm playing WoW and I start noticing some movement problems. Namely when flying and trying to use three keys at once. Like the W+E+Space Bar to go forward+up+right. It won't register all three keys at once. But they work fine with 2 of the key presses. But using the Q+W+Space Bar to go forward+up+left works fine. It's affecting my already sub-par performance, and would LOVE to know why it isn't working. A USB keyboard works fine, but if I was wanting to use a USB keyboard I'd have a desktop... So yeah, rant in hopes of fix over. Any help that anyone can give would be great. Thanks!

 

Yeh, these R3 keyboards are very cheap.

I had the same issue with mine, except with the D, 6 and space bar.

I would call them up and ask for a replacement keyboard.

 

Also just saw that W+A+X doesn't work for forward+Right+Down.

Would it really be a physical hardware problem why certain key combination presses wouldn't work?

Did a new keyboard work for you?

 

It's a ghosting problem, common on cheaper keyboards as has been said. You can get gamer keyboards designed such that common controls (WASD in particular) can handle multiple simultaneous inputs. Actually if memory serves the alienware keyboard actually has this anti-ghosting feature.

But you'd be surprised how many keyboards are like this. And even more surprised which keyboards don't - I had a £45 "gaming" keyboard that suffered from this issue and sent it back. Bought a temporary £4 keyboard from the local supermarket and it's much, much better

But consider how likely you are to be often doing that combo - particularly in WoW a lot of what you are doing can be handled with the mouse and two key presses.
