I just got a new Logitech Elite keyboard, its great except for one problem.


Whenever I play games requiring the use of the arrow keys, if I hit too many arrows keys at once my computer will beep (mobo speaker) and the keyboard will lock until i take my fingers off the keys and press them again... VERY VERY ANNOYING!

is there any way to fix this? possible registry tweak?

I've been looking through some forums and i see two options.

One.... You need to get a new, higher watt, power supply.

two... Try connecting your wireless w/e to a different port... ps/2, serial, usb... etc

Thanks for looking into this for me,

AMD 2800+ Barton
Thermalright SLK-947U

7 Case fans ( > 0.38A / fan)
3 Smart fans (2 Inside PS + CPU)

i don't know Mnky that's a lot of stuff to be running off that power supply, with all those fans and such. I'd be guessing that that is your problem.

Off topic: Hey darg, yah i just decided to stop in :)

over the past week ive been emailing a logitech dude, and heres what he had to say about my problem!

Thank you for your recent inquiry about your Keyboard.

We are sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. Unfortunately this problem that you are experiencing is a limitation of the keyboard. This is however not a driver issue, it is a hardware issue. The hardware buffer put in some keyboards just isn't capable of handling multiple keys at once.

The following article will explain a bit about the hardware behind a keyboard and how it works. Please note that this is an older document and not written by Logitech. Some information may not apply. As well we do not support the information in this document directly.

We have encountered this issue before and it seemed to only occur on our corded keyboards. Our cordless keyboards did not have this problem.



Hmm... I wonder why it only affects corded keyboards...

Wandering off topic more: Yah, it's been awhile since i've been around here, nice to be back for atleast a little bit. I've been a bit busy with life (girlfriends, college, life, work, you know). Tomorrow i'm moving to Denver for the next three years. It's going to be a long road ahead, hopefully i'm ready for it. Anyways hope all has been well for you guys.

Good luck with the keyboard MNKY

FIXED!

I have finally figured out how to fix it :D

Before when Dtere suggested to try USB, I was too lazy to reach around back so I used the front panel usb...

I tried plugging it in to the USB thats soldered to the mobo and it works wonderfully :)

Thanks everyone!

Good luck in Denver Dtere!
and thx for your help :D

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
