What is NKRO?
NKRO (N-Key Rollover) is a technology that allows the keyboard to process all simultaneously pressed keys without any limitations. The “N” symbol represents any number: the system is guaranteed to register every keypress, even if you press every key on the device at once.
How to test NKRO?
- Press several keys simultaneously.
- Check the display of all pressed keys.
- Continue pressing more keys to find the maximum number.
Rollover Types
- Without NKRO (2-Key Rollover): only 2 keys are registered at a time.
- 6-Key Rollover (6-Key Rollover): only 6 keys are registered at a time.
- NKRO (N-Key Rollover): all pressed keys are registered simultaneously.
Why is NKRO important?
- Gaming—ensures instant registration of all commands.
- Speed Dial—prevents missed keystrokes.
- Multimedia Tasks—allows you to use complex simultaneous key combinations.
