KB216 Keyboard

Question

I've just bought a new keyboard for my son off amazon - the very old one he was using finally gave up and died I bought a new DELL KB216 Keyboard. It appears you cannot press more than 2 keys together with this new keyboard.  My son plays Minecraft a lot where 3 simultaneous key presses are often required.  e.g. W+R+Space bar. Can anybody confirm if this keyboard is limited to just 2 simultaneous key presses?  If so, it is as much use as a chocolate teapot!  The keyboard I replaced was 10 years+ old.  Are Dell currently making keyboards that are inferior to much older, equally cheap keyboards?  If so, all I can say is very disappointing Dell!

If that was the case, Ctrl+Alt+Del wouldn't work, would it?   .

Ok, I could have been more specific.... but I I think you got the gist of my question!

Ctrl+Alt+Del works.

BUT other 3 key combinations, NOT USING Ctrl or Shift, do not work with this keyboard, unlike many other keyboards.

If so, as posted previously, this keyboard is as much use a chocolate teapot!
