Multiple clicks on different keys play sound?

So I've been given a patch by some lovely helpers on this forums and its been working fantastic, however, I ran into an issue;

When I press down three keys - "q w e" the sound plays, however, if I press down a different three "a s d" the sound does not, but pressing down two at a time "a s" works? I wanted to see if it was only a s d which had this issue so I mapped another sound to "z x c" and this time when I press down "z x c" and "z x" no sound plays whatsoever, only playing when I single press "z"

Is there a reason for this, and if so, is there a way I can get around this? Hopefully my description makes much sense.

You got informed that some key combinations

can not get recognised together in another thread.

Oh... I had misinterpreted what he had said. I don't know why I thought he said it only recognises up to 6 simultaneous key presses and my dumbass was like 'nah i'm just gonna be pressing 3 keys down at once anyways' lmao..

Is that a limitation of the keyboard, max or computers itself? If there isn't a work around I guess I will need to come up with something different.

Also if it isn't too much trouble, what combinations work, or could you direct me where I can find that out?
