Did you get a new keyboard as well? According to Rowlens on the Logitech forums: "All keyboards have sets of 3 keys that block each other. "Key blocking" is a problem that comes from using a matrix to scan the keys instead of discrete addressing of each key on the keyboard (which would require as many data lines into the keyboard's microcontroller as there are keys on the keyboard, so nobody does it)".

"Note that you can't press all three keys of DFG at the same time on most keyboards. ExtremeTech has a good description of how this works".

"Also, the microcontroller in the keyboard has to remember the state of each key being pressed, and simpler keyboards can handle less keys pressed at once (even if those keys don't "block" each other)".

So basically what I think he is saying is depending on the keyboard make and model, certain groups of keys may not all be able to be pressed at the same time, which might be your problem. If you have any old keyboards laying around I suggest trying one of them out to see if that works.

II was researching some of the high-end gaming keyboards. Some of them had the same problems with key blocking and was given a low rating for gaming because of it. I noticed that a couple couldn't be used with the alternate control combos for Tanki. I don't buy the cheapest out there, nor do I buy the most expensive. I look for those in the $40 to $50 range and that's good enough for what I do.

 

I also have read that there is a difference in functionality between wired and wireless. The wireless is not as responsive as wired in high action games. That's why most serious gamers tend to stick with wired. Also in this article, it mentioned that the further the receiver is from the keyboard and mouse the more chance there is for signal disruption. A radio was given as an example. It said that signal disruption between receiver and mouse/keyboard was much like the occasional static you may get on a station that otherwise has good reception. 

 

Just food for thought.

u might just need a new keybourd it might help alittle but there is no telling.

No, don't buy a new keyboard! Look it up and try to change your keyboard settings. If this doesn't work, take it to a shop and they'll be able to tell you about it.

There is a limit on how much buttons you can press at a time while playing tanki online

Some computers can't handle that many buttons at the same time.
