but that would actualy still not do a muck and won't let you press more keys than it's allowed anyways, so nevermind :P

Think I read somewhere that certain keys are linked, hence you cannot press more than a certain number - only three, if you're unlucky - of keys at the same time: http://www.dribin.org/dave/keyboard/one_html/

Oh... _r.u.s.s. basically said just that

What you could do is try to sit down with notepad and test out what your keyboard matrix might look like and what keys that result in a lock.

I poked a bit and found out that for example my QWETYIP and AWDCBMP-keycombos can work without locking, however, I think that varies from keyboard to keyboard. Also, I think Ctrl Alt & Shift can be used along with most combos.

Well I did point that out... and also I thought I brought at least something to the table with the notepad sugestion... ah well.

What I usually do when playing splitscreen mp is to connect several USB keyboards, don't know if that'd work for you though...

This is so annoying! I sometimes try to improvise with my keyboard when I compose music but sometimes the keyboard locks. Does anyone know any non-locking keyboards? And don't suggest midi-keyboards..
