Yea but if you plug a keyboard without the problem into the laptop it should go away. Its a keyboard/hardware problem on a whole not at all limited to laptops. There is a lengthy explanation on the internet why some keyboards do it. Something to do with which grid the keys are on in a circuit. Found under Key Ghosting/Blocking I tried this 4568 combo and actually I'm thinking I like it better than using the standard arrow keys. With numlock turned off and the the 5 key on the num pad changed to reverse thrust it works really well. This way you have the home key, insert, del, end and pgup/dwn all right there on the numpad as well, so you can use items with less right hand movement. I wish i had sat down and tried that before i took the 4000 back cause now im thinking about going back to Compusa and getting it again :-) thanks.

We need to start a list of Keyboards that do not work so there can be an end to these threads. I just took that keyboard back and got a different microsoft ergo keyboard and its the same way. Both have been usb. I tried another microsoft ergo board because my old ps/2 one had always worked and i read a refview that said this new one should work. But it doesn't. So my list of keyboards not to buy so far is: Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 (usb) Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 (usb) its really a shame to because both of these keyboards are rediculously comfortable to type on. So i guess my question is does anyone know a nice usb ergonomic keyboard that you can game on?

bleh im having the problem with a $60 microsoft natural ergonomic USB keyboard. Cant fwd thrust, shoot and turn left at the same time. I figured i would have no problem cause it was replacing the Microsoft ergonomic PS/2 keyboard ive used for 10 years. I suppose there is no fix other then finding a new keyboard? annoying. :-( *****after checking in "mskey" it appears the issue is only with the up arrow. I can't hit up arrow and two other keys at the same time.
