Anti Ghosting and Key Rollover

luckyduckstr
Go to solution Solved by mgsstar,

They're pretty much the same thing.... 

Both allow the keyboard to recognize multiple keystrokes. I.e. without key-rollover or anti-ghosting if you pressed w+a+g one/more of those keys could theoretically not register. (random key choices--theres nothing specific about those keys)

Heres a useful link about anti ghosting and key rollover: http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/official-mechanical-keyboard-guide#post_6009418

Key rollover describes how many keys you can click at once and register while ghosting just describes the effects if you try to click 2 keys at once (it registers as a different key than the 2 keys that you clicked)

Hey

This is just a post of a few questions.

What's anti Ghosting? What's Key Rollover, and what's the difference between the two?
