Your qwerty keyboard is probably limiting the amount of keys transmitted at the same time, wether that's by design or due to cheap chipsets.
Get a real midi keyboard or a mechanical qwerty.

Play two notes and add the third one later if it's really only this combination of letters that's affected.
It happens on my keyboard too but with different letters.

As diminished mentioned, this is expected. I use my qwerty keyboard on the go often, but attaching a Scales and Chords player (or another similar player) is where it's at and helps to overcome the limitations of a qwerty keyboard.
