Keyboard issues

[TrueTenacity]

Hi there,

I've got an issue with my keyboard, and any assistance would be muchly appreciated

Whenever i play and FPS games, doesn't matter what it is, Doom 3, Bioshock, Crysis.

when i hold down the "w" key to walk, my character will walk a few steps and then stop, and i have to re-press "w" to get him to move again....

any ideas what is causing this and more importantly, how to make it stop?

Go to control panel and have a look at your keyboard settings. There are the character repeat and speed options. Have you tried playing around with this?
But anyway: What kind of keyboard is this? Just a normal one or something you need a driver for to use it's special features? If so then try deinstalling said driver and try without...

I had the same problem with my MS wireless KB. I ended up changing to a wired keyboard to resolve the problem.

I am also interested to see if there is another wireless solution out there to fix this problem.
