Does this adapter support N-key rollover? If not, how many keys may be simultaneously pressed at once?

I am not familiar with N-key rollover as I am not a gamer. So Google pointed me to http://blog.controlspace.org/2010/08/n-key-rollover-what-it-is-and-how-to.html. The manual typing test on the page resulted in: HE QUIK BROWN FO JUPS OER HE LA DOG This is with the Ziotek and an IBM/Lexmark 92G7445 M5-2 keyboard/trackball combo (trackball is not being used) on a Dell Optiplex 760. Hope this helps.

This keyboard supports n-key rollover (NKRO) in PS/2 mode. This basically means you can press every key at the same time and it should still register every stroke. But this only works if you use the PS/2 connector (that's the round connector), NKRO does not work with just the USB cable.

I'm not sure as I don't use those "non function" keys. Keep in mind, to use the traditional function key you have to hold the activate function key at the bottom left corner. If you don't, you can be in the middle of a game, for example, and suddenly activate a media player. It's mapped in reverse to the traditional keyboard. I'll try to test it tonight.

Connected via the USB->PS/2 converter the documentation on the keyboard says that there is no limit. I have not actually tested this, as the machine I use it with does not have a PS/2 keyboard port, but with USB I have yet to run into any problems and there have been a few situations where I have five or six keys pressed at a time.

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

Yes, it support more than one key at a time, it's good for gaming while it works, mine works just 3 months and then die.

Hi: It seems that not all keyboards will work. I tried the individual adapter types and some very similar looking to the SANOXY over the counter and much more expensive cable type adapters - no luck. Then I bought this adapter since the price was so low that I could not loose much. When it finally arrived from China I plugged it in and things are working fine: ie one PS2 keyboard and One PS2 mouse into one USB2 port. If your Keyboard will work is anybody's guess. If your keyboard is important to you, just try it - it worked for me.

For all you mac people here, i suggest downloading ControllerMate, which i was able to configure to support most of the special keys (sometimes with my own scripts rather than the intended purpose). Its not free, but its worth it to have this sexy keyboard work properly with my mac

Sorry about the truncated response. Still have no clue about the Active bit. I plugged the old keyboard into the adapter and the adapter into the USB port and it has worked flawlessly.

Yes, all keys work and you can play more than one key at a time...I was playing chop sticks from the movie big (tom hanks) and it sounded great!

I am currently trying to get this to work on Windows 8 with no success yet. It seems to randomly mess up my keyboard USB because my keyboard goes AWOL and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I've tried downloading the most recent drivers from the website, but those still seem to not work.

Sorry, anything that I might say about this would be strictly a guess. I can tell you that my Logitech G11 keyboard does not recognize the additional gaming keys, but does function completely normally as a standard keyboard. There is definitely processing of the digital signals passing through the switch.

I am not sure about the keyboard, but this adapter is not a good one. Do not buy.

No. They are just the normal multimedia combo keys (Fn+F Keys) not programmable.

Patrick is right. One adapter will work with up to four Dual Shock 3 controllers while in Direct Input mode, but only one at a time when in X Input mode. This became an issue when I wanted to play a fighting game with a friend and the game required X Input, as many do. If you plan to play local multiplayer, check to see if your games need X Input, and consider buying two of these adapters if they do.

Not a single problem in my case, but i guess its all about the kind of keybord you use (im using a korsair vengance k70) hope it helps.
