Can you send me a screenshot of your hold key action settings? ]]> RE: How do you hold a key?

I can definitely test it out in the first two. It's on my list for next week and I'll keep you posted on what I find out.

Thanks! ]]> RE: How do you hold a key?

Could be a game issue. Could you list some of the games you tried it with? If we have any of them here we can test it out to see if there's anything we can do.


I have tried it on these games and they all acted the same way:
- Roblox
- Minecraft Java
- Among Us (steam)
- Fall Guys (steam) ]]> RE: How do you hold a key?

A held key in Windows is actually a repeating key. You can test it out by opening Notepad and holding the key.

Games should be expecting that repeating action though, which is why we made the hold key action do a repeat. Is the game not responding correctly to the hold key action?

You can try the "Press Key" action, which is just a single keydown with no keyup, but that almost definitely won't work.


Yeah, I felt like it was actually repeating the key since it looks the same as me clicking the W key over and over. I tried it in a few different games and they all acted the same.
Also, I did try the "press key" action, it only presses the button once.
I did try both with the beta version and normal version and they both act the same. Is it a bug or is it a game issue? ]]> RE: How do you hold a key?
