Title: Can someone answer some noob question for me?
Post by: Lazerxzz on Sun, 28 December 2014, 13:15:16: I have a Noppoo Choc mini keyboard that's about 4 years old maybe? Anyways....... I have noticed it only does 6 keys at once but is advertised as NKRO over usb. Is there something I'm doing wrong? A setting I need to turn on etc?

edit- FIXED :DDD had to press fn+f12.

NKRO over usb doesn't work properly if at-all to my knowledge.

You need to use PS/2 to achieve NKRO.

Anyways, with my experience with my CM Storm, a typical keyboard supports 6KRO over USB and can do NKRO on PS/2, assuming that the matrix or whatever it's called is well designed to have this capacity.

Now before you go and buy a USB to PS/2 converter, do you even need NKRO?

Mine works.

Could you help me out by any chance? I have a biostar TZ77B motherboard. Is there any reason why mine is only doing 6 keys?
