saitek eclipse 2

Juxax · 11 Jan 2008 at 20:09

just purchased one from ocuk, looks great, feels great n everything, but when gaming I use the arrow keys to move and the KP ins button to jump, however pressing kp ins whilst holding down 2 arrow keys doesn't work.

I use kp ins for boost in the viechles, so when I boost I can't turn, lol... is there a reason it's doing this, or what?

it didn't come with any drivers to install, it installed itself when I plugged it in after a shut down.

anyways, thanks in advance.

Hi.

Go to the link and scroll down until you see Keyboards. Select your Keyboard, then your operating system and click the button underneath and that should help you out.

Just checked through them all and there is no driver for this keyboard. Erm, hit it? (Joking)

. You could try swapping it with another USB port and see if it helps as I don't see a reason for it not to work.

Try all the usb ports on the back, still won't work.

However, the bottom and left arrow key + kp ins works.. I can jump diagonally backwards/left. But the other 3 combinations don't work. I really don't wanna have to start using the WASD configuration.

well my eclipse 2 works fine as far as im away. u sure there isnt some sort of dirt or soemthing obstructing it.

No it's brand new, Just out of the box... diagonally backwards/left works with jump, but none of the other combinations work, so...

I have No idea whats wrong... I have bought an antec 900, e6750, gigabyte ds3r, etc and am installing windows XP on a fresh new hard drive, perhaps it will decide to work properly then.

Edit: it seems a lot of people are having the same trouble as me with gaming keyboards, saitek and logitech, but some pos 10 quid dodgy old keyboard has no problem registering it, so I guess I have to take it back and use my oldskool piece of crap dell, wasd is cramped and crap.
