Actually, it's even worse, because double-shifted space seems to "select" the text just written, causing it to be erased on the next keystroke. I worked around it by using the arrow keys (unshifted).

 

I would have though "High-Price" would have handled it better...

Your monitor is capable of 60Hz, and Tanki is a flash game.

 

How about Fallout 4 or GTA V?

I don't play those games  ;)

Then you have no reason to brag about system performance in a 7-year-old flash game.

Not a bad idea

Well what do you expect from a medium spec laptop? If it bothers me too much, I can also plug in a proper keyboard but this is fine for me now.

 

A better test (well, more relevant to Tanki) would be to try and press your control buttons (eg. WASD)

If what you mean is testing key rollover, most modern keyboards are capable of more than you will ever need. You would have to be using a keyboard from about 16 years ago equipped with a USB 1.0 plug, which is limited to 2 key rollover. USB 2.0 should also have a limit, but that escapes my mind at this moment. Not too sure about USB 3.0 and 3.1, PS/2 plugs shouldn't have any key rollover.

 

With my USB 1.0 Keyboard (spoiler below) you can't press the D key if say you're holding the spacebar and W key at the same time. But this one is about 18 years old now, and no one should be using something this old anymore. Heck, USB 1.0 could barely power keyboards and they added extra USB plugs to it for some reason, as if they could power a mouse at all or even a flashdrive!

What is ghosting?

[hhgb 2,655]

What is ghosting?

The definition of "ghosting" has evolved over time, so you may get different answers depending on who you ask.

The term "ghosting" was originally used to describe what happens when you would press two different keys on your keyboard, but a key (that you're not touching) would actuate without being pressed. 

Since that problem died away over time with improvements to keyboard design, it has no come to where with certain keys pressed down, other keys when pressed will not actuate (the key ghosted). Since this problem is similar to what "ghosting" was in how it occurs/happens it is carrier over.

 

Now, for how it happens it's better explained over here and would save me time from typing it all out, and it has pictures!

So thats why when I'm trying to drive, steer and shoot at the same time nothing works! I'll have to get another keyboard, I thought it was a Tanki thing, not accepting more than 2 inputs at anytime.

I have an Asus U31SD series laptop, get just about the same result except my spacebar doesn't ghost. I have an older HP laptop laying around too (don't remember the model, but it runs off a Pentium B950 processor) and it gets a similar result to yours.

 

None of these laptops are older than 7 years I'd expect, so there still might be new computers that have the same problems. It's almost as if no one thought about this.

Nope can't type it.
