Hi, I've recently gotten myself a Logitech Office Wireless Desktop keyboard and mouse set. It's quite nice, and has a large range.

The keyboard has one rather annoying problem though. If ONE directional button is pressed and held, it then does not recognise if shift or control is pressed. It's fine if a letter or other similar key is pressed instead of shift/ctrl. I am aware some keyboards have abuffer problem when pressing 3 or more keys, but this is new to me. For normal browsing etc, this is not a problem, but for gaming it certainly is.

For example, when playing Counter-Strike, if I am running forwards, and wish to crouch, I have to let go of Up, press control, and then press up again. If control is pressed first, then it lets me move around like normal. However, if I then let go of control, it remains as if it's still pressed until I let go of the arrow key.

This keyboard doesn't come with any specific drivers for it, I've had a look on the Logitech website and there are no drivers available for it as it's designed to not need any. It was a £30-£40 ($6) keyboard, so I fail to believe it simply cannot support this key combination. I've also tried updating the driver through windows, but it claims the latest version of the driver is installed.

I'll be grateful for any help in this matter, thanks guys.

Oops, that should say $60 not $6.
