I have some strange shit with this one. When I press A and some other key at the same time, A doesn't respond. I can't shift+a to get capital A.

A does work, but not combined with anything else. This is one of the cheapest keyboards you can ever find, is it breaking on me? It's not like I would shed a tear for it, but if theres some way I can fix it, I would appreciate it.

sounds like a funky keyboard. sometimes a CTRL or ALT or even SHIFT keys get stuck - not physically, but electronically. tapping both ALT keys, both CTRL keys, and both SHIFT keys fast 5-6 times each will often remedy that. But if it's the same after a cold boot, toss it and grab a new one.

Didn't work. I guess I'll have to check for new board.

I just got a SteelSeries Merc, and I like it a lot so far. It's a pretty good deal over here, but I'm not sure how the Euro pricing is.

I recommend investing a few extra euros on the new keyboard. I spent 50 euros on a Saitek Eclipse and don't regret it one bit. It's a normal USB keyboard but the quality is so much better that it's a lot more fun to use than a standard Logitech.

I bet it's better to use than regular, but I think I will go with another cheap one. Keyboard doesn't matter to me, it works like it should be. My mouse however, is the cheapest shit ever, made in china, and it bothers me because it's not accurate at all, so if it breaks I think I will invest some money for a new better one Very Happy
