Hi! I'm sorry if this post was already here, but i couldn't find it. I have a problem with my keyboard.

If i am playing a game, i can't press only 2 keys at a time, but only sometimes. As a example, at FIFA if i press up arrow + right arrow i can't press D to take a shoot and a lot of other combinations.

I have a sony vaio VPCEB4S1E. Please if someone knows something!

Hi alexno6,

This limitation is due to the way the keys are mapped on the circuitry of the keyboard, i.e. some keys are on the same circuit so cannot can’t be used in conjunction with others.

I’m not a gamer but is there any option to reassign key presses within the game – keys such as Alt, Ctrl and Shift may work if you reassign one of them to the D key?

If not then you may be able to purchase a USB gaming keyboard that does allow multiple key presses. I believe you need a keyboard that supports ‘N-Key-Rollover’.
