I was just playing the F.E.A.R. demo, and was noticing that whenever I crouched, walked forward,, and walked left simultaneously, the concentration thing was turned on. I saved a nd exited the game, and checked the loadout I was using. Whenever I pressed the corresponding keys (buttons 06, 07, and 03) a fourth button (button 02) would register being pressed, though I was sure to not press that button. I then tried many combinations, and sometimes pressing three seemingly unrelated buttons will register a fourth press. Driver glitch perhaps?

Actualy, that sounds more like a hardware limitation. Not sure though.

Whatever it was, I found a workaround. Changed the button that was previously crouch (button 06) and changed it to the blue shift button, then made the lowest band of the wheel (where it always sits) bound to ctrl. Since it was the same buttons pressed, but changed to a shift, I just disabled the offending button (button 02) in the blue shift. Now I can't go into slowmo while crouching, but that is no big deal. At least it does not ALWAYS put me in slowmo when crouching and walking left and forward.

Sounds like it's a driver issue. I can use my N52 in OSX and linux fine, pressing lots of buttons at once, never getting that problem. OSX uses special drivers and linux sees it as a keyboard, so if it works fine on both it's probably something with your drivers. Can't hurt to update them anyways.

I'm running Belkin's most recent. Haven't tried it on OSX yet, and I don't have a Linux box to try it on. It's currently in my LAN bag (going to a friend's house tomorrow) so I'll test it when I get back. It could be an older hardware revision also, since the same friend has a newer N50 and is (I think) running the same drivers as me, but not getting the same problem. He does however get the problem (only in UT2004) where it makes him look down constantly (slowly) while the n50 is plugged in. I remember having this problem, but not how I solved it. Also, for my specific problem, there are just certain keys that have problems, other 3-key simultaneous presses do not have problems. Only some.
