Now I've got a really strange problem with my keyboard.
When i play fps games i use arrow keys to move and control key for crouch and shift key for sprint.
Now here comes the weird problem.
At the moment i can go forward and left (diagonal) and hold my shift at the same to to sprint and it is fine, but if i try to go forward diagonal right with sprint (which is forward arrow key and right arrow key with shift held down) it will not do it.
I can go forward diagonally both ways fine if i do not hold the shift key down for sprint, it's almost as if it doesn't like 3 keys being pressed at the same time.
I was wondering if it was a problem with the "Sticky keys" functions in windows seeing as it involves right shift but i have tried turning sticky keys off and on and it hasn't helped.
So far i have tried a Microsoft Natural ergonomic keyboard and also a logitech G15 and they both do the same thing.
I've tried the latest keyboard drivers and it hasn't sorted the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
