How do I reduce the frequency of my arrows locking?

Because recently, it's been getting a whole lot more frequent than before. My right is locking on literally 50% of my presses, and my left is locking still fairly frequently. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

I have no idea what causes that, but you could switch to WASD.

Hey that's happens to me too! Sometimes my smiley just goes right/left until I click the arrows on the keyboard and then it stops. And I hate using WASD as I'm not used to it.

Same here. I lose to a lot of levels and bosses that way!

Also if it's too much of a problem get a new keyboard or something, mine doesn't lock at all ;-;

Saying 'fours words:' implies that four words will follow the colon, and are not counted, the' ___ words:' is an introduction to the statement, and is not the statement itself.

How awful would it sound if someone said to you
"I have nine words for you: I hate you!"
(ignoring the fact that the introduction to a statement by telling one the length of the statement is extremely awkward and strange, of course).

He used four words, sure, but the use of his [silly] phrase is still incorrect.

@MIHB "I have no idea what causes that, but you could switch to WASD."

I just tried out WASD for an entire level. It wasn't easy to say the least. I had to switch back to arrows in order to climb C jumps (or E jumps). The point being, WASD feels awkward for some, but I'm willing to guess that most people use arrow keys as most people are right handed.

Indeed wasd is very awkward for most non-hardcore gamers.

If this is too problematic then try cleaning your keyboard with one of those air-sol cans, it might help. Otherwise get a new keyboard, they're only like 10 bucks if you don't use wireless.

Hey Alex,

Sorry for taking this thread a little off-topic, but WASD will never feel comfortable for some, if not most people IMO(No matter how clean their keyboard is).

With that said, thanks again for your warm welcome. PM me if you make any cool levels I should try. I'll be sure to play both styles with a clean keyboard.
