Well, what the title says, I started playing Mania today and I noticed that my Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition -
sometimes gets stuck when I press multiple keys. (since I only play 4K now and plan to move to 5K sometime I don't want to have troubles like this :P)
BTW - stuck as in keeps pressing a key without me pressing it. I tried using 1,2,9,0 / a,s,k,l / s,d,k,l / w,e,o,p and 3,4,7,8.

All of them pretty much got stuck whenever I pressed 2 keys (for example I pressed 1,2 and then 1 kept being pressed without me pressing it, until I pressed another key) which was quite annoying.

So are there any other key layouts or combinations that I can use which will work? (my keyboard doesn't have a numpad so keep that in mind :P)
Hopefully I can play tomorrow more comftorably! :D
Thanks in advance!

With a Blackwidow from 2011 I had to use the numpad (and a somewhat uncomfortable layout) in order to play 8K. Your keyboard seems to be from 2013 or later so it might work better.

Try enabling Gaming Mode (that way there are less ghosting issues) before trying out key combinations that work.

~Used gaming mode and now the anti ghosting is a bit better, but still gets stuck as described earlier sometimes (much less if that wasn't clear :P)

This is probably caused by a hardware limitation, which means that the keyboard or USB contact can only transmit a certain amount of commands at once:
"In order to save money, keyboard manufacturers often put many keys on the same "circuit" of sorts within the wiring of the keyboard. This prevents multiple keys in the same region of the keyboard from being pressed simultaneously."
I'm not sure if this is the problem you are having, but it's worth taking a look into. Try playing some 8K maps and see if some of your keys suddenly stop "working" if you press 8 or more keys at once. Alt, Ctrl and Shift should be exempt from this rule, so you might want to try those keys instead.

That it's happening when playing 4k is pretty strange though, it might be some sort of bug, but I am way too drunk to begin speculating
