Max Number of Simultaneous Key-Press (N-Key Rollover, NKRO, Ghosting) (2010)

I will just go on a tangential rant. I have the HHKB pro 2 as my daily driver, and my one gripe is the low polling rate. So when I press shift to make a character upper case, it sometimes uppercases two. Never had that on other keyboards yet both HHKB I own have this behaviour, making me think it is a combination of low polling rate of 125hz and Bluetooth.

Besides that, it is my favourite of many keyboards for any non-gaming thing. the Poker II is my go-to for gaming and I highly recommend that one as well, if 60% is your thing.

I'm glad that you still like it, but it's strange to me that someone would buy a mechanical keyboard because of its reliability and immaculately accurate and fast typing experience caused by precise and unmistakable feedback mechanism of a mechanical switch, and then they are suddenly okay with occasional random ghost keypresses? That's like buying a Breitling SuperQuartz watch that just lags behind a minute a day, isn't it?

You might like it for other reasons of course, but registering keypresses accurately is the minimum I expect from a keyboard, let alone a mechnical one.

		The keyboard feels good to type on, it's quiet enough to not make me self-conscious when using it in the office, and I enjoy the layout (lower 'backspace' key and smaller form factor). Plenty of things to like - the ghosting happens occasionally but not enough for it to be a dealbreaker. Although I did change my vim keybinds so `:wq` and `:WQ` both save & quit lol.

I've found that quite a lot of cheap keyboards cannot register a T when shift-R are being pressed. If I always used the standard QWERTY finger positioning, this wouldn't be a problem, because my index finger could not be on both R and T at the same time. But when typing a word like (all-caps) SMART, I tend to use middle-index to quickly type the RT, and R is still depressed when I hit the T. So the T does not register.

Most decent keyboards don't do this, but even there I've seen exceptions. Very annoying.
