That's what I saw, it was something about the groups of keys that they put into the same 'read' pattern. So you can't have multiple keypresses from the same 'group', but USB had a limit of 6 simultaneous events. Some high end keyboards get around that by having a Hub built into the keyboard, and presenting it to the OS as 2 keyboards so they can get 12 events. PS2 did not have this limitation. There seems to be a ton of bad information floating around though.

This PC Came with a USB Keyboard that's still in the box. Maybe I'll put that out and try it.

The bus has nothing to do with what key combinations you can or can not push. It's in the keyboard itself. At least that's what my research told me.

I've used the G19s for quite some time, but honestly the only PC game I've played in the last ~12 months is Diablo 3. I absolutely love this keyboard for everything else, if that helps.

    I've acquired a new PC which is better than my old box, but It
    doesn't have any PS2 ports on it.  I've always used a PS2 Keyboard
    for gaming, but now have to use a USB to PS2 adapter, and I'm
    running into what I guess is called 'N-Key' Issues.  Apparently
    this is an issue with USB Keyboards where only a certain number of
    keys (or combinations) can be pressed at the same time.  It seems
    like PS2 doesn't have these problems.  There are many many sites
    on it, and lots of talk about fake reviews/ bad specs for keyboards.

    So, Anyone here have a recomendation for a good Gaming keyboard
    (USB) that doesn't cost $100's?  Or is there a special USB to PS2
    adapter to use?  I just loaded up one of my racing games, and
    found that I can't accelerate turn, and hit the Ebrake at the same
    time.
