Send() not working with a particular program

[Decker87]

I'm in a very strange situation. The "Q" button on my keyboard has stopped working. Unfortunately one of my favorite games, League of Legends, uses this key extensively while providing no reliable way to remap the keys. So I figured, 'no big deal', I'll just configure a script to send Q when I press a different key (in my case A).

Here's the thing: The function executes just fine, but the game doesn't pick up the keystroke. It's as if the keystroke was never sent. Why might this be and is there a way to fix it?

Note: I am not trying to automate any aspect of the game, so I believe this is not in violation of the rules (which I have read).

You could always buy a new keyboard, it would be easier

Yes, but I have a $200 keyboard that I can't replace for another couple weeks. Do you have any idea on how to fix the problem of AutoIt Send() failing?

A $200 KEYBOARD? WTF. Who makes it?

Have you tried it where the keys are sent raw? Also verifed for example with notepad that it is indeed sending the key?
