So I have recently been encountering a strange problem. Not long ago, I experienced random commands being ignored in SC2. For example, I would highlight my army and press T to stim, but they would not stim. Or I would click my depo and press R, but it would not rise up or down. Sometimes at the beginning of the game I would click the command center and press S, but no SCV would start making. At first I assumed it was lag, but after happening many many times over a couple of weeks I came to the conclusion it was my second hand CMStorm keyboard. At which point I kinda raged and punched it to death and then ordered myself a new Qpad MK50.
However, the problem persists. It doesn't happen outside of SC2. I am typing this at about 100WPM and have not missed a single key. I play SC2 at about 100-150 APM but many seem to get missed during a full game.
Now its hard to pin point where the problem is. It feels like lag as it only happens when I am playing fast, but some times when I issue the command a second time after doing it much more slowly and making sure that the unit is selected first, it still sometimes does not issue the command.
Anyone have any ideas?

Little update and a bump for anyone willing to help. I have now plugged in my 10 year old rubber dome logitech keyboard, and it seem to be working in SC2 fine. Why is it only my two mechanical keyboards?

Are you using USB for the mech keyboards and ps/2 for the rubber dome?

Yes and no. The CMStorm as USB, the rubber dome is ps2. However the MK50 is also ps2, and has the problem whether I use ps2 or the USB adapter.

Don't hold your mouse button down when you're trying to press a hotkey. Actually not sure if that matters.

Seems to be a recent patch issue? I'm also encountering this now - except I've never had this before and have no recent hardware changes.

Could be, but my 10 year old logitech keyboard still works fine!

Go to control panel > keyboard and set repeat delay to shortest and repeat rate to fastest and see if that helps.

This guy has the answer! For some reason, SC2 ignores my keyboard input while I am pressing the mouse button. Literally completely ignores it! How can I fix this?

If your PC's motherboard has a PS/2 connector and your keyboard came with a USB to PS/2 adapter, perhaps try using the keyboard through that? [If you never used PS/2, a thing to know is that you have to shut down the PC when connecting something to it.] EDIT: just noticed I can't read and you already tried ps2
Do you have another mouse to try? In the device manager, my current mouse shows up as two different mice and one keyboard. I think that's because it can do macro shit. With it showing up as several devices, I could imagine something weird going on when I press a mouse button, things breaking like what you describe.

So far I have tried it on two completely different computers, each with different mice. The PS2 keyboards work with SC2, but the USB ones don't, even when using the USB to PS2 computer. It also is only with SC2.
It seems very strange that this happens on both computers (both completely separate computer bought 3 years apart) on two different USB keyboards, and only with SC2.
