The only game I really play is Unreal Tournament and I use the M$ Intellimouse Pro. Quite often when I press the left mouse button, it fails to fire and I have to press it a few times to get it to fire.

Problems I have are:
 
NoX : Right mouse button causes the run command to stay active so character runs into walls and lava.
 
Rally Championship 2000 : Lose of car control, including steering, gear selection and accelerator.
 
Everything else works fine - Now I've said that something will go wrong

Good idea this poll!
Hardware: Logitech cordless desktop PS2.
Occasionally stuck in Q3A and Tombraider 3 & 4. Half-life, Unreal, UT and others no problem as far as I remember.
When I am stuck, there is no way to escape except the hard way. Keyboard and mouse no longer respond and I keep on running into a wall or whatever I am doing until I get fragged or toasted in lava. Had same problem with recent standard keyboard and plain vanilla serial mouse.
BUT : WHEN I USE AN OLD CHERRY AT KEYBOARD (12-year old), NO STICKING!
Is there a prob with keyboard bios/clock?

Here's my deal...
 
Old PS2 Compaq Keyboard, Older PS2 Logitech Trackman Marble (no wheel) w/Win2K drivers. Games with sticky keys...
 
Unreal Tournament, Rogue Spear, and Tribes. Those are the only games I've played under Win2000 and all of them have sticky keys so I don't know of any games that don't have the problem.

I just installed my first game (Rogue Spear) under this fairly fresh bootup of Win2K Pro (final). Someone suggested setting the optimization to backround rather than apps so I did that. Installed, patched, ran game. Even when I configured my keys they were sticking. The meter for sound would stick down and go all the way one direction. Okay, knew it was gonna suck then. Anyway, I set my keys and ran the game. First shot I fired nearly emptied my magazine.
 
Well, games suck under Win2000 and that's a fact. It's a well known problem so hopefully MS is working on a resolution. Right now the only option is to dual boot and play games under Win98. In fact, I'm going to do that right now...

Sticky Keys???? Sounds to me like you guys need to cut back on the candy....or some other activities.
 
I have an Intellimouse Explorer with Intellieye connected by USB and a PS2 keyboard and I have not experienced any sticky key problems. I don't know if this will help or not but every time I put together a system for somebody I always go into the bios and set the typematic rate to the highest it will go. My mobo is an Abit BE6R1. Windows 2000 Pro and AS run perfect.
 
Games I am playing right now in NT5:
Unreal Tournament
Quake 2 & 3
Ultima Ascension
Urban Chaos
Baldur's Gate
Half-Life & Opposing Force

DosFreak, in answer to your question, my Logitech Mouseman Wheel is connected via USB. Motherboard is a QDI BrillianX 440BX Chipset, with latest BIOS. In case that had anything to do with it.
 
Laters...

Since I went over to Win2k, I have less problems with sticky keys. But I still got some problems in Unreal Tournament.
 
I use a cheap ps/2 keyboard, and a logitech pilot mouse serial.
 
It's running on a AMD K6-2 350, 96 MB.

DosFreak... My Intellimouse is plugged in my PS/2 port and I'm using PS2Rate set at 200 Hz.
 
I'm using the drivers provided by Win2k.

OP
Hello all, Sorry it took so long to to get back to everyone on this topic, but I have been away networking this weekend and just got back not to long ago.
 
My Purpose for this post was to get as many responses from the poeple on this msg board to respond to my original post so that I may collect a list of all users having the sticky key's problem and then bringing it to Microsoft's ATTN: as well and the game companies to see what they have to say about it and to see whether or not they are working on something at present time to fix this Well known problem for those poeple like myself who would like to use W2K for more then just business Apps.
 
So please keep posting away!!!! and tell any of your friends that are having the prob to post as well. When I reach a certain amount of users who are hainvg this prob then I will print out the info and sort through it and redo the Poll in a plain TXT file and send it off too everyone. (Game companies and Microsoft) to see what they say. I will then wait for the replies from them and either one post them here or 2 post it on my web site!!!!
 
Thanks to all those who have replied, unfortunately I don't think my thoery worked.
 
To those of you who have a serial mouse and have this prob. Please tell me what W2K is using as the Mouse and Keyboard driver.
 
Again thanks to all who have replied and please keep them coming in. Sorry this was so long!!!
