Simultaneous key press on the keyboard GX600

hello guys,
i bought a MSI GX-600 thinking that it could accommodate my gaming needs however i found out that it cannot allow more than 2 simultaneous key presses on the keyboard. its supposed to be a gaming laptop right? i cannot play keyboard bashing games with this unless i use a gamepad or an external keyboard. have you experienced this on your laptop? 
do you think an update of the bios will do the trick?
try this link to test if your keyboard can handle more than 2 keypress at the same time:

No, no, no, it won't, so please don't try it!
Also, if you read the comments in the link you posted, your answer is there:

The problem comes from the way in which the signal for the pressed keys moves from your keyboard to your computer. The signal is only 8-bit, and there are limits to how the signal can be changed to represent more than one key being pressed in combination.
Long story short, the guys who designed the origional keyboards made a descision to support all two key combinations, and then selected as many three key combinations as they could support with the hardware. This meant that some combinations had to be left out, and they had to make a descision about which ones were more important.
It just happens to be that they chose not to support three key combinations which involve the up arrow key. I do not think there is any solution to this problem…
If you're playing games, why not just remap the keys in the game's settings?

  • How can we trape the Keys Pressed on the Keyboard and do action depending on the keys

    I want to know how we can capture the keys pressed on the keyboard by the user and do necessary action depending on the key pressed by the user....
    For example.... If user press Alt+q the form should go in the Enter Query Mode.
    Can anyone tell me how i can do this in Form 6i....
    Please Help me out from this problem...
    Thanks in Advance

    Can somebody point me to what I need to use to
    intercept all the 'keys' for an application.
    At the moment I have set Focus to parts of the
    application when the Mouse is over it, and then get
    the Keys with a KeyListener.
    Is there a way to get the keys, as long as the Java
    app is active.
    - Its an image display program, and I want to use keys
    for - next image , zooom etc etc.
    If soemone could just point me to the right part of
    the API to look in?java.awt.Toolkit.addAWTEventListener()
    then use the mask defined in AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK to listen to all the events.

  • Catching Alt Key Press with the Key Down Filter Event

    I am writing an application that requires specific key combinations using ctrl, shift, and alt in addition to a function key (F1, F2, F3, etc).  The application works great except for when I try to catch an alt key press.  The alt key press does not seem to fire an event eventhough it is an option in the PlatMods cluster as well as the VKey enum.  When I press the alt key when my application is running the cursor changes to a normal mouse pointer from the usual finger pointer and prevents any other key presses from going through (in addition to not firing an event itself).
    I have tried completely removing the run-time menu, which doesn't seem to help.  I currently discard all keys after I handle them in my event structure.
    I really hope that the only solution isn't using a Windows DLL.  Any suggestions or ideas at all would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ames

     Hi Ames
    As Kileen has said Khalid has already given you a good solution to detect the ALT key.
    I have another approach that might let you stick to your event-driven approach. I suggest that you have another loop in your app that polls the keyboard using the Input Device utility vi's. When this poll loop sees an ALT + KEY combo it raises a dynamic user event and will be processed in your event structure. This means you can keep your key down filter event to process the CTRL + KEY and SHIFT + KEY events.
    Example attached in 7.1
    cheers

  • I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
    If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
    It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
    Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

  • How do you register multiple key presses at the same time?

    Hi. I'm trying to write a first person game in OpenGL and I'm having some trouble with key listening. Right now I just use the basic AWT KeyListener. The problem that arises is that whenever I hold down a key, such as a movement key, there is a short pause after it moves me in the appropriate direction, and only after the pause does it start continuously moving me. In addition to that, I can't press multiple keys at once to get diagonal movement (I use WASD for movement). Is there something I can do with AWT to fix both of these problems, or is there something other than AWT that I should use that would be better?

    the pause is the typomatic rate of the keyboard, you can avoid that by using the keyPressed and setting a flag then a sleep(myDelayTime).... if they keyRelease--and clearing of the flag--hasn't happened after the sleep, then you're key is still down so keep firing, moving, or what ever.

  • Simulate multiple simultaneous key presses with applescript?

    Is it possible to simulate holding down multiple keys with applescript? No modifiers, just letters.
    For example;
    holding down d,o,n,k,e and y keys simultaneously for 1 second then letting go?
    so far I have this:
    on run {input, parameters}
              tell application "System Events"
           keystroke 4
           keystroke 1
           keystroke 37
           keystroke 9
           keystroke 2
           keystroke 17
              end tell
              return input
    end run
    Can anyone show me how to tell it to hold for 1 second, but more importantly is this actually possible and am I even on the right track?
    Cheers,
    Marty

    You should be able to achieve this via the key down and key up commands, rather than keystrokes.
    As the name implies, a keystroke is a simple, single press of a key whereas the key down simulates the pressing of a key and key up simulates the release.
    Off hand I have no idea how it will respond to multiple keys, and I'm not inclined to try, but this should point you in the right direction:
    tell application "System Events"
              key down "donkey"
      delay 1
              key up "donkey"
    end tell

  • No long key press on bluetooth keyboard?

    I'm wondering if this is a limitation of the actual keyboard itself, iOS or even the app I'm using.  Where if you press a key on the keyboard and hold it, the iPad sends that key over and over until release.  Unlike the normal behavior of the key action 'OnDown' remaining active it simply resends the key.
    I am using the ZaggMate and Splashtop to remote into my computer a play a game.  For this game, in order to move, you need to use the arrow keys.  Since holding the key fires multiple 'OnDown' and 'OnUp' events, the movement is not fluid, more like stop, go/stop, go.
    Is there a way to work around this/where is this key press event actually getting mixed up?

    We had a couple 911 calls our first couple days with our uc540. What came up with was that our old phone system buttons had a different feel. With these cisco phones, if you press the button all the way down in a quick press, the nunbers never double for us. You can hold down forever and never get a duplicate. But if you press slowly or don't press the button all the way, I can get double numbers when pressing. I think that there's a point in the actuation that the button can float between on and off and that can give you double numbers (I think in the gaming community that this is called "spamming" the button). Our old system took less pressure to press the button all the way down and as soon as we told everyone to press harder we haven't had a accidental 911.
    If you push a button half way down and shake it left to right you can see a good example of how to spam the button. Yeah, that isn't how a person dials, but the first few days we got double-numbers just with people making calls. We have a few spa and a few 7900 series and we had issues on both but more on the spa phones.
    One specific person had the most trouble and this person doesn't have the most stable hands... She wasn't calling 911, but she just couldn't dial the right number because they'd get an unintentional double digit in the middle of their dialing. She really has to press every number deliberately to make calls--I wish I had a better solution for her because it makes here feel dumb.

  • MacBook Pro 15 with Windows 8.1 installed via Boot Camp problem with keys "@" and " " of the keyboard

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina Maverick in 2013 on which I installed Windows via Boot Camp 8.1.
    The installation went well but when I am running Windows 8.1, I have a problem with "@" and "<" keys on the keyboard.
    When I type the "@" key, I get "<"
    When I type the "<" button, I get "@"
    I have reinstall Boot Camp from Windows 8.1 for reinstall the drivers and see if it would solve the problem but it was not the case.
    Someone of you has he encountered the same problem?
    Thank you.

  • What does the "fn" key do on the keyboard

    Need help as to what the fn key does?

    If you have enabled Keyboard Viewer and Character Palette in your System Preference settings, you can see what keys on the keyboard will change into if you utilize the modifier key 'fn' and this may help to see the options or where odd characters you may not otherwise know, are hiding out.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Is there a hidden screw or latch under the ctrl key to release the keyboard on the HP ENVY dv6-7250?

    The keyboard is damaged and I want to replace it.

    i believe the part number is B6R23AV WIN 8 MULTI lANGUAGE 64.1.1 dv6 for the keyboard.
    I removed all the screws and separated the top surface that holds the keyboard but something under the ctrl key is holding everything together.
    Is there a release mechanism in that area. If so how does it work?

  • Capturing Key press when the focus is not on VI. (event is not working).

    I have a VI, and found similar in Forums. I need to catch key down event, when the focus is not on VI.
    I attached the VI found in forum. Try to click on other window, for example on block diagram of VI, when VI is running and check if it works. The answer is no, it doesn't work. When you press any key, the led button must change it's state, but it does only when the focus is on VI's front panel. The question is how to control key press, when VI is minimized or inactive. Is it possible to catch key down or any similar event, when the focus is on any other application, not on VI?
    Solved!

    For an example, open the example finder and look for "basic input demo". It should give you some ideas. Good luck!

  • How the HE** do I get a key back on the keyboard?

    Ahhhhh!
    Thanks.

    On my MacBook, my son popped off my control key. Do I need to make an appointment to have it replaced, or will they do it without one?
    Will I need to send my computer in? I need to know, so I can back it up just incase...what is the liklihood they will do this? My keyboard itself is not damaged. Just the key.

  • Assigning multiple key press in shortcuts keyboard

    I find that i use the select all tracks forward far more than select track forward so would like to change my shortcuts to t for select all tracks and tt for select track. Problem is that I can't get Customize Keyboard to accept multiple presses of t - it simply registers the single press of t and asks if I want to change the shortcut it is assigned to.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Problem is, Redtruck, I can only get FCP to register one press of t. I can reasign select all tracks forward to a single t but when i go to select track forward and press t it asks me if i want to reassign t to this command and then overrides the select all forward shortcut (which reverts back to tttt automatically).
    I can't seem to find a way to enter multiple "t"s when assigning a shortcut.
    I hope this makes sense (I'm almost confusing myself).

  • Home and end key functionality on the keyboard

    Hi.
    i have a window with a table where the values will be populated from database.
    on that table i want to make use of HOME and END and other key board functionalities on my table.
    please suggest me or provide me a sample code.
    thanks in advance

    You must register your table to the KeyListener. A possible solution :
    yourTable.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {  
                        public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e) {   
                             if(e.getKeyCode()==e.VK_HOME){
                                                  //do something
                        public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e) {   
                             System.out.println("keyReleased()");
                        public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e) {
                             System.out.println("keyPressed()");
                   });

  • Start with the Option key down - Which port to connect the keyboard?

    When I need to start my Mac with the Option key down in order to select a boot volume, I have noticed that the system ignores the Option key press and boots into a previous boot volume if a USB keyboard is plugged into an external USB hub. That's understandable because the boot sequence may not detect the keyboard on the external USB bus fast enough for the system to recognize the Option key press.
    My Mac will always recognize the Option key press at a boot time if the USB keyboard is plugged into a USB port on the Mac.
    I want to know what if the boot sequence will detect the keyboard +soon enough+ to recognize the Option key press if the keyboard is connected to a USB port on a PCIe USB expansion card.
    If you know the answer, please let me know because, if the answer is no, I would not want to invest money into an expansion card.

    Even if it doesn't work with the card, you can plug the keyboard into a built-in port and use the card's ports for other USB devices. The total number of USB ports would be the same.
