Okay, so my new cheapass wi-fi card came yesterday and since I'm lame and in the mood for some boring corridor shooting I got Steam and Half-Life (and Opposing Force and Blue Shift too) installed.
Problem: For whatever reason the 'w' and 's' keys (probably the 'a' and 'd' keys too but I haven't had that happen yet) lock up after a few seconds of holding them down and I stop moving in game until I stop pressing them and start again.
I have no idea why the shit that should happen since it doesn't happen outside the game or in other FPS games, or non FPS games. I forget the exact model but it's a Microsoft multimedia wireless keyboard.
This is dumb.
Whaaaaat? Fucking keyboard.

Re: Whaaaaat? Fucking keyboard.
Do you have sticky keys turned on?

Re: Whaaaaat? Fucking keyboard.
Yeah, sounds like sticky keys, it's for people who are missing fingers, gets activated when you press shift 5 times in a row or something like that.
Here's how to check if they're on and how to disable them if they are.

No, it's not sticky keys. I turned that off when it kept dumping me out of The Ur-Quan Masters, and a quick check to be sure shows that it's still off.
Just checked the model: Microsoft Wireless MultiMedia Keyboard V1.1 Model 1014
Man, I hope the solution isn't to switch this thing with my old board, that thing's really gross.

Re: Whaaaaat? Fucking keyboard.
Crap, after fiddling around some more, it seems like it's a problem with the mouse and keyboard being used at the same time. Well fuck, I guess it's back to the old board. Knew I should've returned this thing the moment I realized it wasn't the cheapass wired keyboard I thought I had picked up.
