Problem is simple :
Black Dell keyboard won't accept more than 2 keys at once, if more are pressed it'll stall out for half a second. Very problematic when crouch-jumping and doing anything alongside - its easy to be pushing 3 keys.

White HP keyboard works perfectly fine, but its a piece of crap with horrible design and keys and a dodgy spacebar.

Question :
Any way to fix the Dell KB into working with as many keys as I please? Drivers or so?

no, this is a hardware issue, and is normal.

start binding more keys to meta keys (ctrl, alt, shift) and mouse buttons, this should alow you to press more keys.

I never run ito this problem (I know it is there b/c it always showes up in emulated games due to the lack of mouse usage)

basicaly figure out what commands you often need t do to gether and then bind out the ones that are often there to the meta/mouse.

Examples:

fire has to be on one of them, most people use mouse1, you probably do also.
Jump is another (if you wish to jump and move/crouch/attack)
crouch is also generaly important
I personal keep +popupmenu on a meta also (alt in my case)

Yah, don't forget to use alt, if you use wasd it is just as easy to get to as space


Oh, and this is why wasd is better then other configs

Meh. I use w-a-s-d, and short of making my standard space button a crouchjump or something (which still doesn't cut down enough on the key usage, because in a backwards strafejump I'll be hitting backwards before the jump, one strafe key during the flight, and the opposing one on touchdown). Same with Fading and weapon keys (Jumping, crouching intermittently, switching between blink/meta/swipe and airstrafing).

The best I could do is move my weaponswitch keys to the mouse, but I don't like that idea too much because none except mouse1 (attack) and 2 (triplejump) are very handy.

So uhm, guess I'll go out shopping for a keyboard :/

for me i use arrow keys.

my jump key is right mouse click. attack is still left mouse. i use mousewheel to switch weapons. when i click the mousewheel it brings up pop up menu. crouch is crontrol.

try that combination. i have a dell keyboard and with my crontrols i do fine.
