GLFW KeyCallback Only certain keys seem to work

The nightly build has a temporary fix for this. A better fix is coming to GLFW soon.

Thanks for the info.

I may have another problem, unless it's just me not knowing what I'm doing.
So as before I've set up the GLFWKeyCallback method like this.

public class Keyboard extends GLFWKeyCallback {

	private static boolean[] down = new boolean[GLFW.GLFW_KEY_LAST + 1];
	private static boolean[] pressed = new boolean[GLFW.GLFW_KEY_LAST + 1];
	private static boolean[] released = new boolean[GLFW.GLFW_KEY_LAST + 1];

	public void invoke(long window, int key, int scancode, int action, int mods) {
		System.out.println("PRESSED " + key);
		down[key] = action != GLFW.GLFW_RELEASE;
		pressed[key] = action == GLFW.GLFW_PRESS;
		released[key] = action == GLFW.GLFW_RELEASE;
	}
}

I call glfwPollEvents() every update which runs at 60 FPS but judging from the print to console it seems like invoke is only called about 20 times per second if I hold down a button constantly. Is there a way to control this or perhaps some good alternative way I can set up keyboard control without using the callback?
I'm trying to track when a button is pressed for the first time. Am I wrong to assume that is what "GLFW_PRESS" does, cause it seems to be doing that but pressed[key] doesn't get set to false until a second has passed.

The behavior you're seeing is normal and depends on the OS and the keyboard hardware/driver. It will become clear if you just print the callback events, instead of printing the current state of the down/pressed/released arrays:

- You first get a GLFW_PRESS event for the key.
- After some time (several hundred milliseconds at least), the OS starts sending repeat events and you get your first GLFW_REPEAT event.
- The GLFW_REPEAT events have lower frequency than your event loop (the number of times you call glfwPollEvents()).

Even if you could, it's bad practice. You shouldn't mess with the user's keyboard repeat rate, it's a personal preference.

You could implement your own event repeating though; start a timer/counter on GLFW_PRESS and fire an event every x frames/milliseconds, where x is the repeat rate you want. Stop on GLFW_RELEASE.

Correct, GLFW_PRESS is fired only once, the moment the key is pressed. As I explained above, the behavior you're seeing is caused by the code you used, simply because the first GLFW_REPEAT event is delayed.
