Please try this example and see if you can get all WASD combinations to register?
I can get a few x2 and a few x3 combos to register, but not x4 and many of the others.

The example code uses additions and has remmed out bit settings - same outcome.

Where's the problem?

My keyboard?
My code?
AGK?

Seems to work fine for me. All combinations in any order add up to 15.

No problem for me as totals with all key variations equal all sums from 1 to 15.

Sounds like a keyboard issue. Some keyboards can't do multiple inputs very well.
Signature removed by mod because it's larger than 600x120... please resize and try again.

There are some combinations of keys that cannot be pressed in combination due to the circuits used in the keyboard hardware. It is a matrix of connections and some cause "short-circuits"
More expensive gaming keyboards have circuits that do not have any conflicts.

Just brought a random crappy keyboard back from work and still can't get 15.
My "good" keyboard is a Dinovo Edge, although I wouldn't call it a gaming keyboard.

Thanks for checking.

All working for me too. Sounds strange though. I've heard of ghosting before, where you get key presses that don't exist, but not of missing keys!
