Thanks, Elroy, but that doesn't solve the issue I'm running into. A single key seems to perform smoothly, even using the three ways I mentioned in the original post. The problem arises when switching from one key to another. For instance, say you're moving a ball on the form to the right with the D key, then you want to move the ball up with the W key. When immediately switching from D to W, there is a hesitation before the ball moves. That's the problem... getting rid of the hesitation.
