Also, most mechanical keyboards can go NKRO with a PS/2 connection anyway.

Same OEM. Razer also gets their Blackwidow keyboards from iOne, which also produces Qpad, MaxKB, and numerous other brands.

as long as you use a proper ps/2 keyboard and not a shitty usb keyboard you can press all keys arch0wl

Steelseries 6gv2 is probably the cheapest n-key rollover I know of

i have a topre switch keyboard that is plugged into usb l0l

it has 6-key rollover which is good enough for me. if i need n-key i'll just get an adapter.

CM Storm Quickfire Rapid can retail as low as $70 depending on switch type. Biggest advantage is that since the OEM is the same as Filco's, you're essentially paying half price for that keyboard.

I'm pretty sure you can pick up ps/2 to usb adapters for about $5-$10.

He's talking about USB to PS/2.

On that note, if there's no PS/2 port, than you can't use a PS/2 connection.

not true, I have an Ultra X through a PS/2 -> USB converter (make sure you get a converter and not an adapter, because adapters do not have circuitry to support PS/2 when it does not exist on your computer/laptop) -- however, I don't recommend this for rhythm gaming, as you will have input issues like I'm having...

...I wonder if the speed of the ports has to do with the dropping of taps (would I have these same issues with USB 3.0 ports?)

There's adapters for both, but after reading what AJ said there's no reason to get one.

nope you're fucked, rip

better explained, usb sucks and most keyboards with usb can do 6KRO

http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/terms.php#6kro

there are some keyboards that can do NKRO trough USB tough

http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/terms.php#nkro

like it says even there
"Originally only available through PS/2 interfaces, brands such as Ducky have created keyboards that can offer NKRO through both the PS/2 and USB interface."

but I don't know of any ps/2 to usb adapter that can do NKRO for existing ps/2 keyboards sadly

but you could get a usb keyboard that supports it
