OTD doesn't play nice with Google Translate so I have no idea what's going on in that site.  The Koreans created a custom controller.  We'd rather argue about shiny keys.

Dude they're korean what do you expect.  It's like when I lose in starcraft 2 I can blame it on race, especially when they are speaking in Korean.  You just can't compete with that.

(disclaimer, with all due respect I love Koreans, this was not meant to be a slur, just a comment on their gaming and geeky superiority in certain ways)

No, the software that checks for ghosting would limit the rollover.  You would need to create a custom firmware module and load it into the controller.  Or more likely just swap out the controller.

Nkey is a combination of HW and SW.  See the Nkey Wiki.

And Welcome to Geekhack!  Here's a Korean dude that actually did all that.

Shameless self promotion...

But for a good cause!

Soon all shall understand NKRO, all because of you Rip!
