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?  :wall: :shocking:

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?
 
:cry: i guess i'm stuck with big ext keyboard and a controller but overall i love my gx600.  :yes: :agrees: 
 
I'm with normal very good keyboard Compaq, {which doesn't lock keys like the cheap one} and still can't pass your test entirely :)
There is some combination which can't done :)
 
a gaming keyboard can handle 10 keys at the same time. hehe! life is so cruel... you really can't have everything in life.  :nooo:  :rolleyes_anim:
 
FYI:

fixed the problem by going to the BIOS and selecting Load optimized settings.
