Frequently Asked Questions

What is NKRO?

NKRO (N-Key Rollover) means the keyboard can register all keys pressed simultaneously. Most mechanical keyboards support NKRO, while membrane keyboards are often limited to 6KRO or less.

What is anti-ghosting?

Anti-ghosting prevents phantom key presses that occur when certain key combinations are pressed on keyboards without full rollover support. Keyboards with anti-ghosting ensure every intended keypress is registered.

How many keys do I need for gaming?

Most games require at least 6KRO for WASD + action keys. Competitive gaming benefits from full NKRO to ensure no keypresses are missed during complex inputs.

Why does my keyboard miss keys when pressing many at once?

This is a rollover limitation. Budget keyboards typically support only 2-6 simultaneous keys. When you exceed this limit, additional keys are ignored or ghost keys appear.
