Greetings all
I'm currently using an 'old' Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboard 1.0A (PS/2) (circa 2001-02) with my early 2000's PCs, and it's fine for the most part, but as a 'gaming keyboard', it's absolutely awful. It appears to lack any kind of key rollover, or at least anymore than 2-key rollover. Playing old games like platformers and FPS' are especially frustrating. I was looking through old photos, and I had what looks like the original MS MultiMedia keyboard (1.0) and later on a 1.1 (the black and silver one), and I don't remember having any such issues. In fact I kept that keyboard for years until it was replaced with an MS Sidewinder X4, whenever those came out. I've tested the keyboard with both newer and older systems with the same results, so it's definitely the keyboard.
Anyhow, to rectify the problem, I basically need to invest in another keyboard. I'm tempted to order a keyboard from Unicomp, one of their custom keyboards, specifically a PS/2 Classic 105 (UK layout). Has anyone here used these and would they solve my rollover issue?
