Key combination problem with ASUS CERBERUS [Resolved]

stovan
Level 7
Hello all,

In all games I have a problem with my ASUS Cerberus keyboard that does not want to do the following combination of keys:
HIGH ARROW
+ the numeric keypad
RIGHT ARROW

Indeed in GTA 5 for example if I combine these three keys to fly a helicopter I can not turn right while it works when I want to turn left (LEFT ARROW).

Can you tell me if there is a solution?

I tell you that I had the same problem with my previous cerberus keyboard that I returned recently because of a backlight problem.

*As this one has the same defect I think this problem is specific to this keyboard.

Thank you for your answer.

Firstly, are you using the Cerberus or Cerberus Mech RGB?
Do all the keys work, but not when too many are pressed simultaneously?
Same thing for any game you play?
Have you tried different USB ports? Best to connect to the motherboard directly.

I have the basic Cerberus with 2 colors of backlight.

Yes all the keys used separately work only when I make a combination of its 3 keys that there is a problem.

Yes this problem is present in all games.

I tried other ports and I have the same problem.

As I said in my previous email my previous Cerberus keyboard that I returned for backlighting problems had exactly the same problem.

The original Cerberus has 19KRO, you will not have any issues if you map with applicable keys. Using the directional keys is fine, avoid mapping the keypad if you need to press multiple keys simultaneously.

Thank you for your answer but I do not understand anything about what you say you are talking about mapping applicable keys for me it's Chinese language.

I would just like to make thIS key combination work :
HIGH ARROW
+ the numeric keypad
RIGHT ARROW

Can you tell me what to do because I do not understand your answer ?

With my old keyboard I could do all the combinations I wanted and he would recognize them.

Normally with anti ghosting I should be able to make all key combinations without problems while there it is impossible.

Here are some key combinations that do not work with the cerberus keyboard (tested with the KbTester V0.4 software :

To clarify, only the 19 keys shown above can be used in your combo (19KRO). Avoid using any other keys in your combo, they may not register when too many buttons are pressed simultaneously.

Thank you for your answer, if I had known that before I would have never bought this keyboard I will have kept my old "Cyborg V.1 Gaming" with which I could make all the combinations of keys that I wanted.

Sorry to hear it isn't what you were expecting. I know it's a little late now, but the updated Cerberus Mech RGB does offer NKRO.

Thank you but my old $ 15 keyboard was doing the same thing for a lot less money. Not only this keyboard is very expensive (130 dollars) and I do not like mechanical keyboard with their keys too high and especially their noise.
The bottom line is that a 60 dollar keyboard is not able to do what a 15 dollar keyboard does ... thanks ASUS.
