I just saw this and it might be worth seeing if this works out side of POE.

The reason I say this is that keyboards (particularly cheaper/older ones) us a matrix to detect key presses and the result of this is often that there is a very limited number of keypresses which can be detected at the same time.

This is why gamming keyboards often advertise allowing multiple key presses. Its actually quite hard/expensive comparatively to create a keyboard which allows any combination of keys to be pressed and detected correctly.

yep, my keyboard problem, but if try 3 buttons or more, i can press q, but when 2 buttons..
The term you are looking for in a new keyboard is "NKRO" or "N-key roll over" which tells you how many buttons you can press down at any random order. Usually if it says "NRKO" it means "all of them", otherwise there's a numebr in front like "6KRO" or "10KRO" meaning it can take 6 or 10 keys, but not necessarily all from same keyboard region.

NKRO is such a common thing that it should be part of any keyboard past 20 bucks.
