    How many keys can the F8SV register at once?

    Like the topic title say; I read the thread on the G1S keyboards not registering past 3 keys, and I'm planning on getting a F8SV soon, in which this particular game that I play requires me to press up to 4 keys at once.

    It's not exacly a deciding factor for me, but I'd just like to know in advance. ;)

    I just typed that with one keypress on my G1s, so your info is wrong.

    gasdfg doesnt work for me :( but i use the G15 anyway so doesnt matter for me that much. I don't think any games would need to use asdfg all pressed together though. Most i've done is in css with "w" and "a" and "ctrl" and "shift" and they all seemed to regiter for me.

    Like I said, there's a particular game which I play that requires me to push up to 4 buttons at once. :(

    The problem is with certain key combinations only, involving arrows and modifiers (ctrl, shift) I think. It depends on how the inputs into the keyboard controller are structured...

    Maybe you can give the exact combinations that you need and someone with an F8 can try it out for you.
