N-Key Rollover

Hi guys, I noticed that only the BlackWidow has N-Key Rollover while other Blackwidow (Elite/Lite) have 10 key roll-over. What is that so? Shouldn't the more expensive BlackWIdow Elite have N-Key Rollover as well?

I don't really know much about the difference, but people in this thread seem to. Maybe it will answer your question.

I also found this on the BlackWidow Elite Support Page:

"Does the Razer BlackWidow Elite have anti-ghosting capability? How about the N-key rollover?
Yes, BlackWidow Elite supports 10 key roll-over anti-ghosting. N-key rollover (NKRO) only works with a direct connection to a native PS/2 port on the computer which provides for other limitations that USB overcomes. The Razer BlackWidow Elite's gaming optimized key matrix serves a similar purpose while using an ordinary USB port."

Here's a link to that page.

I see your point, but I don't think it should be any kind of a deal breaker 🙂.

Honestly, I can't think of a single time where I had anywhere near 5 keys pressed at the same time. Even if you had two people on the same keyboard (those janky two player flash games), at most you'd have WASD/Arrow and an additional key each. So unless janky two player flash games on the same keyboard are resurfacing, I'd say you're totally fine with NKRO or 10 key roll-over!
