Q: Apple Magic Keyboard 2 (2016) not detecting more than 3 keys, pressed at the same time!!!

Hello. So I don't know if there is a solution to this, but I was playing on my macbook pro 15inch 2015 model just fine and I was pressing "w" + "x" + "space" + "shift" at the same time and all four keys were detected by the game and it worked. After I while I bought the new magic keyboard 2 (2016) and connected it to my laptop. I played the same game and pressed the same key combination ("w" + "x" + "space" + "shift"), but only "w" + "x" + "space" got detected and played. Is there any way to fix that? Thanks for future responses!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    If you still use Yosemite as your profile suggests, you may find (if you look at the box) that the Magic Keyboard 2 is intended for El Capitan.   You should upgrade if you want to get the best out of it.   I cannot speak for particular failures but there have been similar problems with the Magic Mouse 2 where upgrading resolved it.

    No, my laptop came with Yosemite, but I'm currently using El Capitan. What can I do to fix this problem in El Capitan?

    Then please update your profile.  It says you are using Yosemite.   Look at the bottom section of your original question.    It might be worth calling the manufacturers of the game to see if it has been updated to use with El Capitan.

    Yes, ok. I'll update the info. I'm just wondering if there's even a possible solution. Plus it should be updated to use with El Capitan, since it came out in 2016.
