Can run-key become toggled? - luther's caption - 09-14-2011

Pressing the run-key is fiddly for me, is it possible to make it toggled like the crouch key?
Probably not but it doesn't hurt to ask ...

Oh and I can't press run, forward and right at the same time, I only run forward like this. Run, forward and left does work. Strange.

Thanks.
Do all gaming keyboards avoid these particular key combo's (shift + forward + left/right)?

Funny, toggling the shift key would avoid this problem altogether. Dodgy

The good ones tend to support anti-ghosting, but you should check their specs to assure that they do.

Great, I think I'm going to start saving so I can buy the Logitech G110.
I'll explicitly ask Logitech for the aforementioned key combo's.

Regarding the toggle option, I'll assume that's a no-go. Smile

Have you tried using caps lock as a run key? Can't recall if it works in Amnesia, but it is not uncommon that it works as a toggle key for games.
