Is there any way to increase keyboard buffer size ? Cuz i hate jamming keys when i play with my bro in some oldschool games such as MK, or even it happens sometimes in quake, (when i starfe in air, keeping pressed crouch butoon, i can change a weapon). I hate when sth is not working as it should. Please help me, i looking for help on many forums and no one seems to know enough.

It's present on any keyboard notedicated for gaming, cuz each keyboard have a small chip witch scans the matrix for pressed keys. In most cases buffer of that chip can remeber 4 buttons, 4x2 Bytes. Try pressing wsa together, and then press c. That buffer is independent from OS buffer. As i know, Razer Tarantula has non standard chip, it allow to press up to 10 buttons.

Anyway, i solved splitscreen gaming by useing two keyboards at once, one usb and one ps2 :)

Well USB could be the problem, try only using the PS/2 one, I use a PS/2 microsoft ergonoic multimedia keyboard and I never had that problem...

I use my N52 most of the time, which you can press all the keys and I'm sure it would recognize all of them :p
