yeah, it sucks, i have a newer keyboard, and i can hold maybe a couple of letters, and it beeps at me over and over!
It must have been mentioned already, but older keyboards do not have this problem, maybe try get one cheap somewhere. However you could also go for the 'special gamers' keyboards, it seems those are mapped a bit different, however pressing more than 5 keys at the time will make it beep too. (e.g. the logitec G15).

I just found that any triangle on my keyboard, such as wa-s beeps, while as-d does not. Apparently any triangle beeps.
Try this in your code: player.move_x = key_w - key_s; player.turn = key_a - key_d;
See if that makes a difference...

Now I have only 1 USB gamepads... I broke one when playing virtua fighter evolution.
My hint is: A) Make your game turn based or B) Use the combination of keys for several actions: for example: A turn left, S turn right, A&S move straight. There are multiplayer games in the web which work like that. Its fantastic, because they knew that problem but wanted to make a mega multiplayer game playable on one PC. That means, the used for player one keyboard, for player 2 keyboard for player 3 mouse and for player 4 joypad. The controls work like that: key 1 = move left, key 2 = move right, key 1 & 2 jump
That means the player with mouse can walk left when pressing mouse 1 and walk right when pressing mouse 2. When he presses mouse third (some horrible mouses have no third button - so they made the mouse 1 & 2 to jump) he jumps.
