Issue with some slow keystrokes

I thought I would love this keyboard when I first got it. But after some use (mainly programming) I've found something that's driving me nuts. 1. The keyboard keeps skipping my typing, especially on a key combination like Shift + X for capital letters. An example I found is to hold down Shift and then type "yui". These 3 letters are next to each other, so I usually type very quickly. However, on this keyboard I get "YI" or "YIU" 99% of the time, but never "YUI". I've tried this on both my Macbook Pro and iPad, both had this issue. The keyboard only registers 1 dash when I type double dashes quickly. This can be a big problem for programmers since many commands require double dashes for options. UPDATE: Turns out it's related to the input method setting, not the keyboard. I bought this keyboard mainly because of the price and the fact that it has square keys. I used Logitech K380 before. This one was perfect in terms of stability and functionality, but I didn't like round keys. I thought I would change, but there was no such thing.

Pros
