Hello,
I have a lenovo ideapad330. The keyboard does not allow certain keys to be pressed at the same time, for example holding down space, up and left arrow causes left arrow to not function, however the right arrow works properly. Is there something I can do to fix the issue, or is buying a new keyboard my only salution?
Thanks

Hi,
As far as i know, It's not an issue and exists in most laptops.
Some keyboards do not allow more than a number of keys to be pressed on a single part of the circuitboard.
In this case, The only solution is to buy an external keyboard.

You need an external keyboard, but more specifically, one with N-key rollover. This is the term that means the keyboard can send all keypresses to the computer to be registered at the same time. Note that anti-ghosting and N-key rollover are *not* the same thing, even if they would like you to believe so. Cheaper ones may lead you to believe that you can do this using the term anti-ghosting, but you want to look for N-key rollover.
