Can any one with the same keyboard do a little test for me please so I can see if I have a defective keyboard, or if it is a design fault. There is a what and a why to it, I will start with the what.

What I need is for some one to open up a text editor (Notepad will do fine) and press the number 5 key on the number pad very fast whilst looking at the text entered. Do the entries display consistant with the key presses, or does it stick now and again?.

As for the why, I'm playing a game on the PC that uses the number pad (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) but keep failing songs that I know I can full combo. I got this keyboard because the G15 has the 3 key rule on some of the numbers making it impossible to hit 4 and 5 keys at the same time. My friend's G11 didn't have this problem, but I could never full combo anything because his keyboard's tray as a part of the desk kept sliding causing me to miss the keys.

I've tried tweaking the repeat speed, repeta delay, updating the keyboard's software, different USB ports and even a total OS reinstall but alas, hit the keys too fast and it just dies.

I've got the G11. Tried the 5 above the letter keys, and the 5 in the Number pad. Both times the 5 appeared as it was pressed, didn't stick at all.
 
Brilliant, thanks very much. Think I will have to return it under the DSR as I can't see OcUK accepting a fault of a key not responding fast enough.
 
Figured I would make a couple of videos of the issue. First one is of the generic PS/2 HP keyboard I was using before, good few mistakes but no real problems. Second one was of the G11. Better job in the song but failed at the end due to the keys sticking.

Posting these so OcUK have some idea of the issue :)
