[arch-general] Sticky keys and gaming
Hello all, I don't play very often but when I do, I get sticky keys. By sticky keys I mean that after about half an hour playing, when I stop pressing, say, ‘w’, the character continues walking forward. I first noticed that playing Minecraft and thought the issue was related to Java. A quick search [0,1] supported that theory. However yesterday I was playing Counter Strike 1.6 on wine and, after a while, I noticed I'd continue walking forward even after I'd stopped pressing ‘w’, so I thought I'd drop an email here and see if anybody else has had that kind of issue. I had this problem running both Fluxbox and i3. I think that's not related, but I run setxkbmap us intl every time I go to either window manager.

I've never played Counter-Strike, but I haven't noticed my keys sticking in Minecraft since I updated the lwjgl libraries in ~/.minecraft/bin [1]. -austin [1]: http://lwjgl.org/download.php

I experienced the same issue with Minecraft. At least this could be solved by using the newest lwjgl files (See Minecraft wiki for further information). Joshua

Hello, I've already upgraded lwjgl and that didn't solve the problem. I originally thought that it was a problem related to Minecraft alone but that clearly isn't the case, since I experience the same problem playing Counter-Strike, which leads me to believe the problem is on a layer above those two games. When I go home I'll download OpenArena or some other FPS and play a while to see if I can reproduce this error in yet a third game. Thank you, -- Rafael Beraldo cabaladada.org

Hello again, I installed OpenArena and noticed I still had the same problem. I tried a different key (‘a’, ‘d’, ‘s’) and I noticed it only “sticks” when I'm pressing ‘w’, so it's a hardware issue. My netbook has one of those so called ”chiclet keyboards”. Do you guys have any experience with that? Should I just replace the keyboard? Thanks, -- Rafael Beraldo cabaladada.org
