Mine will only register 3 and then it starts beeping, any keyboards that can handle 4 or 5?
 
How are you testing this, in windows or in a specific game? I can hold down a bunch but it doesn't beep, but I'm on a KVM switch so it may not ever beep.
 
Hes talking about how you if you hold down 3 keys your computer beeps, Im pretty sure all keyboards are limited to 3 keys, I think it even does it in the bios too.
 
Mine doesn't beep, I can hold way more than three keys at a time, heck the whole row doesn't cause it.

As far as input, I can do 5 keys at a time. I tested this by pressing keys while using the arrow keys to scroll up and down, and the scrolling stops when I hit a total of 5 keys pressed.

I am using an Eclipse.

Most keyboards don't have a limit. This is called "rollover". Most keyboards have "n-key rollover", which means that they don't limit the number of keys that may be simultaneously pressed and reported to the host. Three-key rollover is a minimum; otherwise, the keyboard is crap.
