Repeating Key Presses
« on: Wed, 09 December 2020, 12:03:52 »
Hey guys,

I have come across a predicament. In a game I play I press two buttons at once and the game registers EQQQQQQ for example. I know some keyboards would send an alternating EQEQEQ instead. The second would be really advantageous to me as I wouldn't need to time everything perfectly anymore. Is there any way to modify my keyboard firmware to register an alternating pattern when two keys are pressed at the same time? I read that someone can do this using an auto-repeater but I don't think it works with my keyboard. If not, is there a way to do this using macros?

I have a Ducky One 2 Mini.

Try AutoHotkey.

Thanks for the reply. I am trying it right now I just can't seem to figure out a way to implement it so that if I press E and Q at the same time I get a repeating output for the length of time I hold down E and Q.

I'm not proficient enough with AutoHotkey to know whether it can do what you're asking.

So I just discovered something. If I press Q and E at the exact same time (probably within 10ms) I get the EQEQEQ repeating pattern. But when I press one before the other I get the EQQQQ or QEEEE pattern...
