Hello there,
has anybody else tried out this:

Push "w" (throttle up) + Alt + LeftShift

or try one of the other direction Keys ("a", "s" and "d")

it results in the Mech goin on in the chosen direction.

I dont now how to turn it Off again.???

After Ending Match it all returns to normal behavior!

None of this worked. o.o;

Poor quality keyboard is getting confused bacause you are pressing too many buttons at the same time.
So this is more likely realated to your hardware and not the game.

I sometimes have the phenomenon that when i press two movement keys at the same time - like w to accelerate and d to turn right - i will get a beep sound and no changes to speed/direction at all, is that somewhere close to what you mean?
After restarting the game, this bug is always gone and i had it like 2-3 times in the last half year so basically i never bothered.

Really starting to wonder whether this is simply a keyboard issue on my end.. oh well...
going off to buy a new one today.

Google 2KRO, 6KRO and NKRO. It is possible that your keyboard has a problem with those specific key combinations. Even "gaming" keyboards are often 2KRO with tweaks, so be careful what you buy.

Back in the good old days you could have four players sharing the same keyboard with 15 + keys beign used at the same time. Try doing that with a modern keyboard.

To save manufacturing costs most modern keyboards are very picky at how many keys are pressed and in what order. Often you can reliably use just the arrow keys and one or two additional keys. When the keyboard locks up you may sometimes get that "beep" sound from the speakers.

I have an Logitech Wireless Keyboard and i push the Keys Exactly in that order (hold "w" then add "Alt" + "LeftShift")
It works the same with all the other direction Keys!
I must admit that i didn´t try an other Keyboard.

I´ll ask my Friends in Game to do same procedure to confirm behavior.
Besides i get no Beep Error from Keys Pushed.

Back in 1990, when a standard keyboard cost as much as today's high-end mechanical jobs. Which, again, feature full NKRO and virtually unlimited keypress reliability.

I can't troubleshoot your issue... I use "left-ALT" for my push-to-speak button But I haven't had an issue mashing a fist full of keys down on my illuminated gaming keyboard
