I've got an issue in several different unity games: the LeftShift key doesn't recognize, nor does RightShift. Every other key works fine, and LeftShift works in other games and outside of Kerbal.

I'm running Windows 8.1.

Any ideas?

  • Have you tried going through the settings and explicitly setting throttle up et al to the left shift key? Also, I'm thinking this may be an issue related to using a localized keyboard layout instead of Win8 specifically.

  • I did. It's fixed, was actually Synergy hijacking the keyboard in a few of the games.

  • It seems odd that it would hijack the shift key, but nothing else. At least you found out what was wrong.

Synergy was hijacking the shift key. Quitting Synergy solved the issue.

  • Synergy also didn't show any indication that it was running, other than a process in the Task Manager, making this really hard to solve.
