tank/turret controls on laptop

[spugy 12]

I play tanki on my laptop but am struggling with turning the turret and controlling the fire /space bar a the same time.

Is it just a case of practice and having nimble fingers or am I missing something,  Do dedicated gamer controls ( joy sticks/ mouses) make it easier.

Other players on the field can make it look so easy and effective and would love to know how to join them.

 

Thanks

It is a keyboard problem, it is often found in some keyboards, mostly in Hewllett Packard laptops. It will be solved if you get a new external keyboard.

Edit: It isnt a problem, it's a limitation.

Try different controls, like the WASD keys for driving and the !?< keys for turret rotation

use a gaming keyboard since it has like 12 key-roller. normal laptop keyboards can only press 2 keys at a time so u cant press space while moving and turning turret

It's a limitation known as "key ghosting".  My Dell laptop has it.  Anyhow, it's when the signal from a certain combination of keys cannot be received properly.
Try the combination of keys you are struggling with on the key ghosting tester that's in the link I gave you, so you can confirm that it's key ghosting.

Answered. The only way to fix is buying an new keyboard or learn to avoid this issue by pressing only certain keys at once.
