I am making a 3D dogfighting game.

Controls:
W and S are for elevation.
A and D are for roll.
Q and E for pitch.
up and down arrows for throttle.
And C for mouse look.

Method:
(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow))

Problem:
When I press 2 keys at once, for example: A and W; or S and C. It works perfectly. However when I press 3 or more keys for example S, D, and C; then only the 2 keys that were pressed first execute properly. Is there a way to detect more key presses at the same time?

I have a “Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600”. Cheap and basic. German layout.
Using Input.getKeyDown() I can scan Q,W,E,R at the same time, but when I try to add the 5th, the T key, it won’t recognize it.

W,A,D,C is also no problem here.

But the T and U don’t work with QWER.

I guess these limitations are not declared when buying a keyboard. :confused:

Googling it, I found that it is a architectural decision in cheap keyboards, manufacturers put different keys on the same circuit to save money.

Gaming keyboards have most likely a 5+ key cap.
