Question by PulinShah-Gainz · Feb 16, 2019 at 05:03 PM · keypress

Simultaneous Key press not being recognized by Unity,3 keys pressed down, not being recognized by Unity.

If I press 2 keys at a time, Unity recognizes it correctly, however if I press a 3rd key, while keeping the other 2 keys pressed down, Unity doesn't seem to recognize the 3rd key. Need a reason as to why this happens. Also a solution if there exists. The concerned keys would be arrow keys & the space bar. Space bar is kept as default for Fire1. Arrow keys for movement.,So basically, I am using the Space Bar to fire a laser, arrow keys for movement. If I press the down & left arrow simultaneously, the object moves diagonally left & down simultaneously. However during this movement if I press the Space Bar to fire, it won't fire. Similarly it doesn't recognize 3rd key when a combination of 3 keys are pressed down simultaneously. Need a reason as to why this occurs & a solution if there is. Thank You.

Please show your code.

It could be the way it's coded however it's posible that if you're using a lower end keyboard/laptop some keys don't work with each other, such as: up + right + space might work but up + left + space gets ignored. I've also had left + a not work, so it could be a hardware issue.

Yes, on my externally connected keyboard, up + right + space works, while on the laptop's very own keyboard up + left + space works. It is still the same even after disconnecting all external devices. What is the solution?

Here's a forum page about the issue https://superuser.com/questions/73685/keyboard-doesnt-let-me-press-certain-keys-at-the-same-time

The most common answer is buying a better keyboard unfortunately :/
