Hello,

I have an issus with “input.keyboard.on” (see code bellow), all keys are recognized, but arrow are not. I think it worked in the past with “ArrowLeft”, … (i use v3.24.1 now).

```
this.input.keyboard.on("keydown", this.handleKey, this);

  handleKey(e){
    console.log(e);
    ...

```

Do anyone have any idea of why it don’t work ?  
Thank you !

Hi,  
Your code seems to work on my codepen, but with handleKey not this.handleKey  
Try with:

```javascript
this.input.keyboard.on("keydown", (e)=> console.log(e.key), this);

```

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work for me, are you in 3.24.1?
