Changing the key doesn't guarantee no ghosting, every keyboard is different and it only works on some. Since you've tried changing the keys your only option is to buy an Anti-Ghosting keyboard, unfortunately they are somewhat expensive.

Well, first of all, every keyboard is different.

The keyboard ghosting is a problem focused on some keys only, so, you could've changed your keys to other ones that may be ghosted as well.

You can determine which keys are ghosted and which ones are not here.

After knowing which keys are ghosted and which ones are not, change your controls again.

Ghosting will not stop as it is "Hardware" Problem..not "Software"

it is because of the type of keyboard you are using.

No offense...but it is more common in low priced keyboards...and laptops (laptops are not cheap but like you can see I separated those 2 thing with "and"...)

 

Now here's the reason behind Ghosting

See every key in our keyboard has a wire block underneath. 

now to save time and money and to make it "Cheap" (Yup I'm using this word again :P) companies use less wire block which basically means 1 wire block is connected to many keys ( This is how normal keyboard are made too but there "Some" is the word used instead of "Many" while describing)

 

So whats the problem ?...The thing is one wire block can only have one key response at a time. in short you can only press one "key" per wire block.

Now if there are less wire blocks, more keys will be attached to one which in turn means more combinations which one cannot be pressed at the exact same time.

in most of the cases of Ghosting there are only particular set of keys which can't be press together, you just need to find the ones that are in your case and then set your controls accordingly ^^

 

My bet is you must be playing with twins or vulcan or rico (basically a gun where we put a brick over spacebar...atleast that's what I do)

 

To be honest, custom keys are a luxury we didn't have in old times. You can't imagine what I did to survive Ghosting (Well you cant imagine but I can tell you...I criss-cross my hands while playing and use my right hand for "WASD" and my left one for "<",">".... Try it once, the image will be much vivid.)

(Don't think for a sec that my name has anything to do with the information I've regarding Ghosting)

Before creating new controls to play, you need to check which combinations ghost. There is no point changing the controls from one ghosting combination to another. On my keyboard for example, I cannot use the forward arrow, z and space so I now use the keys 1,2,3 and 5. In order to check which key combinations ghost, use this. Alternatively, you could buy a new keyboard but check that is has "N-key rollover".
