This is a well known issue with the usb keyboard driver. It was a a
relatively lengthy thread a few months ago with no (AFAIK) solution,
other than "will be fixed in the future".
It has to do with depressing three keys at a time. It takes a little
getting used to, but now, except for the occasional moment of serious
energy, I no longer strike three simultaneous keys on my Sawtooth.
