My USB keyboard is one of thoose who dosen't make that sound.
Infact, I never realised that this computer never made that beep while I was holding in severeal keys. And I had it for three years now.  |

Did you know that "well don't do that then" is in the Jargon File?
"My keyboard makes this annoying beeping noise when I hold down six keys at once." "Well don't do that then!" |

Yeah, W+A+S does it for me but I can get away with A+S+D+F.  |

Actually, I hear several USB keyboards are plauged with the same problem.
I actually recall one doing it to me, too, so... bleh.
Sometimes you can get away with up to 7 keys, probably more -- just depends on the 'region' you push them in  |

It can happen with as few as 3 keys. It happens because of hardware limitations on keyboards and the PS/2 port. I don;t think USB keyboards do it.
I found out on my keyboard that the W, A, and S keys, when pressed together, will do it. I found out by accident in a game once. |

lol. Mines a Dell, the sound is less annoying. Its just 1 beep. The only way to aviod it is not press 6 buttons at the same time :p |

It's a hardware limitation on IBM PCs (and 100% compatibles: OLD SCHOOL TERMS!). |
