There are some keyboards, used typically for gaming, that can cache keypresses internally, and also accept many simultaneous keys.
I do not believe it's a keyboard. What you describe would not scramble the entered text under this specific condition.
And note, the text is obviously scrambled, like a word jumble, not random noise and there are no characters dropped, which is what typically occur if what you say is true.
No, with a keyboard of the type I describe no letters are lost, but they may be in the "wrong" order from what you expect (like jdd hints, which also happens to me). Look, pressing with an horizontal stick on mine: asdgfh asdgfh asdgfh asdgfh Always the same. The "jkl" letters that I also press get lost, so it apparently can only transmit 6 letters from the same row. Trying to press letters from two rows, simultaneously, with a thicker rod, I get: aqswdegftr aqswde aqswdetr aqswdegft aqswde aqswde Now there is some variance, in number and content. But you see the ordering is always the same. So you see, if I type "too" fast, no letters are lost, but they may not appear in the order they "should". They appear in the real order they were pressed; but if they were simultaneously pressed, then the keyboard sends them by keyboard position order. The keyboard decides, not me. I don't know if this relates to your problem or not, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
