    Been experimenting with telecasting and having a TON of issues <5% success rate and nearly impossible to continue after 2 ultimates. I broke down and decided to install royals on my wifes laptop and attempted telecasting and to my surprise I could replicate telecasting and actually maintain it for upwards of 30+ seconds. I've come to the conclusion that there's either A. A computer setting that I need to change on my computer
    B. New keyboard

    Overall guides on telecasting are pretty bare bones and don't really provide any depth so unfortunately not very helpful. Anyone else experienced this and found a specific keyboard or or a PC setting that improved the ability to do this?

    Pretty sure it's this, the keyboard (and specific keys you assign tele and gen to) make a huge difference in how easy it is to tc

    I think it's a keyboard thing too but don't want to drop $40-$100+ on a keyboard that ultimately is going to have the same issue.

    Not all keyboards can do telecast

    I can do it easier on my $20 keyboard (Microsoft brand) instead of my $100 keyboard (Razer Black Widow)

    I first started telecasting by trying to press X+C at the same time, but I realized it's not consistent for me as I failed around 5%-10% of the time.
    I solved it by moving teleport to A and gen to X, and then it was pretty much 100% consistent.
    For me it was just easier to have gen on a lower key, tho I can't really figure out why.
    I will say that in my experience, like some of the others here, telecasting is easier on a cheaper/laptop keyboard for some reason.

    For those of you with a high success rate can you share what keyboard you are using?

    Should say underneath it mines ASUS K2328U

    One thing i've noticed is that a successful telecast actually needs the signal of teleport key coming first, rather than ultimate key.
    (You do press 2 keys at exactly the same time, but key signals still have their order, as how keyboard controller scans through the state of each key. Multi-key rollover)

    Lets say a practiced TCer keeps pressing A + S on his .txt file or anywhere for text inputting.
    With keyboard A he got "AS AS AS AS AS" -> he should set A as teleport and S as ultimate to pull off.
    With keyboard B got "SA SA SA SA SA" -> he should set S as teleport and A as ultimate.

    If it turns out to be something like "AS AS SA AS SA", a few possibilities i would guess:
    either more practice on timing the pressing is needed,
    or the keyboard is (excessively) good enough to be able to update key states so quickly that the subtle time diff between 2 key pressing is likely to be detected by OS.
