Keyboard Too FAST! Cant press keys slow enough..???!!! Help!

Post by LForet3252 »

Well, in x2 sometimes when entering names for ships my keyboard would type several letters unless i typed very very quickly...Well. it wasnt just the computer because I have a brand new machine (build for x3) and now it appears x3 is doing the same thing. I press a key and it goes bananas. Like i'm pressing and holding the key. Please Help Egosoft..I want to play the game but a can't like this....

I'm guessing that you have an X45 joystick. If you unplug it then the problem should go away. If that is the case then the problem is that one of your auxilliary buttons is sending a continuous signal to the game.

You can either remap that button to an unused key, or use this solution that is built into the game.

Yes I'm well aware this is an old thread.

But it's not necroing if it's still relevant.

For those of you with the Logitech joystick experiencing this problem:

The solution is going to make you laugh your ass off.

The mode switch is the round one at the top right of the joystick (as opposed to the throttle body).

It has 3 settings. Green, yellow, red.

If you start getting the keyboard input popping up too fast

turn the switch to either of the other settings.

That solves it about 90% of the time.

Sometimes it will keep doing it or start doing it again.

Just keep turning the mode switch.

Changing it disables the extraneous input.

You're welcome
