I'm so sick of keyjamming I really need something that has full n-key rollover but I'm not sure what I should get that will last a long time and will be worth the money.

I saw a video on VWestlife's youtube channel that demonstrated the IBM Model F's full n-key rollover but that keyboard's layout is really funky and doesn't have directional arrows on it at all...

And I keep hearing and reading mixed messages of n-key rollover over USB, some people say it's impossible due to how the HID drivers work and the USB bus itself, and some people say it is possible but requires special proprietary drivers. My current PC has a PS\2 port and I am using a PC-AT to PS\2 converter dongle that works, so should I just go for a Model F and put up with the strange layout?

Full n-key rollover works just fine over USB. Whoever said it doesn't doesn't know what they are talking about.

At work I have a Cherry MX Board 6.0 and at home I have a Corsair Strafe RGB.

Both have full n-key rollover and are USB.

Both are mechanical as I can't stand rubber dome anymore.

Now, if you get a cheapo keyboard that claims full n-key rollover you may not actually get it, but the good quality keyboards actually do have it.
