What is NKRO mode?

Simply put, n-key rollover (or NKRO) is the term used to describe how many keys can be pressed simultaneously. If you have a 6-key rollover keyboard, you can press 6 keys at the same time, if you have a full n-key rollover keyboard, you can press all of the keys at the same time.

What is N-key?

A keyboard with n-key rollover, or abbreviated as NKRO, has the ability to scan each button press individually, as opposed to having the PC do it. That number tells you how many keys you can press simultaneously with the keyboard being aware.

What is 6 key and N-key?

X-key rollover tells you how many keys can be pressed down at once, while still being registered by the computer (6-key rollover, for example, can register 6 keys at once, plus 4 modifier keys). N-key rollover can register any and all keys at once, in theory—though this isn’t always true in practice.

How do I know if my keyboard has NKRO?

Many inexpensive keyboards have only 2KRO, while higher-end keyboards (and many mechanical keyboards) have 6KRO or higher. If a keyboard can register all of its keys being pressed simultaneously, then this is called NKRO.

What is 6KRO mode?

6KRO means you can push up to 6 keys + modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, etc.) at once and the keyboard will recognize all of your key presses. 6 keys is usually more than enough since most aren’t usually mashing 7+ keys simultaneously, even with video games.

What is a black switch?

Linear switches Cherry MX Black switches were introduced in 1984, making them one of the older Cherry switches. They have a medium to high actuation force, at 60 cN, which means they are the stiffest of the four most common Cherry switches.

What is the difference between 6KRO and NKRO?

6KRO means you can push up to 6 keys + modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, etc.) at once and the keyboard will recognize all of your key presses. However, if you do utilize 7+ keys at once, you can always get a keyboard with NKRO (no key rollover).
