Post by: Cueshark on March 08, 2011, 12:09 PM: Welcome!

You're experiencing a common problem called 'keylock'.

Some keyboards will not let you press space if you are holding 2 arrow buttons :(

On some keyboards there is a solution. For example, on my keyboard (Logitech Ultra Flat) I can use a program called "Intes Keychange" to change the space bar to my v key. This stops keylock from happening because of the way the keyboard is built.

So either buy a new keyboard (There have been threads about keyboards in this forum) or try using a keychange program to move your spacebar to another key and see if you can find a key selection which stops keylock from occuring.

Hope that helps :<

Works like a charm as my actual spacebar has Keylock.

I use logitech G15, check it out

Post by: TheKomodo on March 09, 2011, 08:54 AM: Troy, I recommend not trying to finger-roll or any other form of silly taps, and advise doing it the old-fashioned and best way, with 1 finger :)
