Saitek keyboard doesn't register keys

[Einhanderkiller]

My Saitek Eclipse keyboard doesn't register when I hit 3 or more F1-F5 keys. Is there any way to fix this?

[poison]

yes. read the FAQ's.

I have a saitek eclipse keyboard and I can play good yes not all 3 note chords work and f4+f5+enter doesn't work but there are ways to get by the f4+f5 issue

Q: Why can I only use certain key combinations? e.g. Why won't F3 + F4 + Strum (Enter) work together?

A: Keyboards always have certain key combinations that cannot be pressed together. This saves on manufacturing costs as it is very rare that those combos would need to be used (aside from in FoF obviously).
Only way around this is to remap your keys. Usually using 1-5 rather than the F keys works. That, or try switching which key is used to strum.

Rule #6: No asking questions that are on the boards FAQ!
Violation of this rule results in a raise in warning level.

He wasn't asking a question that's answered in the FAQ. This is a genuine problem, as I'm having it as well. No matter how I remap the keys to my Saitek keyboard, I can never press string 4 and 5 and any other one at the same time. It can do any other combination (even 4 and 5 alone), but that's it.

I.E. Good:
4+5
3+4
3+5

Bad:
3+4+5
2+4+5
1+4+5

He almost EXACTLY asked what was in the FAQ. I refuse to believe that you've changed them around and you can't find ANY combination that will do that combo.

If I say that I refuse to believe that water is wet, does that make it any less true? The fact remains that to spite various key remappings, it doesn't work. This isn't an issue of PEBKAC, methinks.
