    Hello.

    I consider buying Asus A6JM (or A6JA, I have not decided yet) and I just have a quick question about the keyboard. Since it is quite powerful machine many people use it to play games. Is it actually possible to play games on that keyboard? I mean, when playing action games very often few keys (three or more) have to be pressed at the same time. Does that keyboard allow such thing without any troubles?

    Thank you in advance for your input.

    I have never used that laptop. But i have used many others. Once you get the hang if it you can game fine on a laptop keyboard. there are no issues with the keys. Just dont slam down on it.

    Thanks for the reply SRD. I am not sure if I was clear enough. I did not mean the size or stroke of the keys. What I actually meant is if the system can handle input from couple of keys at the same time. For example, if I am pressing 'E' key (bind as forward) and 'W' key (bind as strafe left) and 'Ctrl' key (bind as crouch) can I press 'T' (bind as select rocket launcher) and the game will perform the tasks I want it to?

    It is exactly the same as a regular keyboard for a desktop pc. I play FPS on my laptops and hit multiple keys at once with no issues.

    Thanks again for reply. I was asking about that because I heard that on some laptops there are problems related to multiple keys pressed. Your explanation is enough for me.

    I have no issues with pressing multiple keys. However some pple might have issue with the Fn button which is on the leftmost corner of the bottom row - where you'd normally find your Ctrl key for couching. This is the case with some brands of laptop, takes getting used to but not a problem imo.
