How many Keys can you have pressed down and work at one time? sometimes my cheap keyboard can't handle my multiple key pressing. or macros....

You can have up to six keys pressed down at one time. If you have a PS/2 port on your motherboard you can use the USB to PS/2 adapter to get N-Key rollover, which means you can have an unlimited amount of keys pressed simultaneously, and they'll all be registered. Have a nice day!

This keyboard supports n-key rollover (NKRO) in PS/2 mode. This basically means you can press every key at the same time and it should still register every stroke. But this only works if you use the PS/2 connector (that's the round connector), NKRO does not work with just the USB cable.

Connected via the USB->PS/2 converter the documentation on the keyboard says that there is no limit. I have not actually tested this, as the machine I use it with does not have a PS/2 keyboard port, but with USB I have yet to run into any problems and there have been a few situations where I have five or six keys pressed at a time.

It doesn't respond well to the dual modifier keys test about 60% work, but with a single modifier key and multiple normal keys including F keys it works fine not including the number pad. Modifier Keys + Z + XCVBNM&lt;&gt;?ASDFGHJKL:"}{POIUYTREWQ!@#$%^&*()_+| | F1-F12 Up Down Left Right Apps Right/Left Windows Alt Ctrl Modifier Keys + Many keys as I can hold down and type still works as well Normal char keys many as I can hold down and the rest of the keyboard works as long as it's the first keys are not modifiers. If you tell me what you need to work exactly I'll try it for you and even download the game if it's not giant like 20GB. I already I have a huge lib of mmorpg, fps, rhythm, and bullet hell. If your game is of that genre I most likely have it installed. As for the keyboard itself it's a bit banged up today, but still going strong and I've hit over the 10 million press mark alone on the Q W A S D E keys and over 8 on Up Down Left Right. What can I say I'm a gaming junkie and I've wore the rubber off lol. -Andrew

yep, that wont be a problem at all. just don't use a great big key tag on the keys. use a smaller key tag, if you are going to use one at all.

Yes, there are 6 programmable keys on the left side of the keyboard, programmable via the macro record button on the keyboard. My channel- https://www.youtube.com/dinoturkeyhd

Up to the person I guess, I've only used Kinesis keyboards for awhile now and when I have to switch back to a standard keyboard it's very frustrating. Not impossible, but, after awhile (in my opinion) the Kinesis becomes what you're used to.

The keyboard can switch between three sets of key/macro mappings to the G-function keys. M1 selects the first set, M2 the second, etc. On the 510 that means you can have 3 x 18 macro keys from which to choose.

no you can count your key's not the F key's. Top row is 1-10 so if it say's key 3 you just countin 3 key's and you got it

111 keystrokes per key. As you type the macro there is a counter that tells you how many keystrokes are left. I ordered 16 of these for my work place. Works great. check: ** http://www.genovation.com/files/MacroMaster.pdf ** and MacroMaster software at ** http://www.genovation.com/files/683ver5_21.exe **.

One more issue. I touch type, which means you don't look at your keyboard at all when you type. So feeling the keyboard is important. The extra column of keys on the left M1 to M5 confuses my brain. Because my fingers feel the keys starting more to the left, I am constantly typing towards the left. Pushing S for D, A for S, and CAPS for A. I will try to get used to this.anyone else getting tricked up by the extra row?

I don't think so. You can insert a delay of up to 500ms, but with 111 actions per macro, that would give you only 55 seconds. This is not a software macro program. It is a programmable keyboard that sends multi-keystroke sequences to the computer with one key press.

There are 8 pins. If this were binary encoded, we'd only need 5. Instead, this uses a matrix. There's a pin for each row, and a pin for each column. To read a key press, we check for current between a particular row, and a particular column. This works fine for one key press, but it's not good for more than one. EG: 1 and 5 being pressed looks the same to the computer as 1, 2, 4, and 5 being pressed simultaneously, because both scenarios result in current in the same pair of columns and rows. Also, google keypad wiring for some great examples of how to use this.

My 5-year old son discovered that you can simultaneously press two instrument keys at the same time, and get a combined sound. I am pretty sure that is a "bug" and not a feature. It works though.

You can do all the shortcut keys with cmd key + x (cut), c(copy) etc. Also this keyboard has the cut, copy, paste, undo keys on the left side which I used all the time which saves a lot of keystrokes. This has been a great keyboard and my wrist pain has gone away totally since switching to this one.

Look at the keyboard very closely. If all the keys are in the right place you should be ok. They only have a couple of options.

I got and returned TWO of these things....both defective (though not in the way yours might be -- mine were multiple-typing on a single keystroke). Just FYI...

Its been driving me crazy! But I've been sitting here mashing buttons and found that if you press cmd+7 it brings up the task manager in windows. :))) I just found about twenty more hidden key functions. Seriously, get bored and you'll figure out how cool this little keyboard is!

Yep! You can program the G keys do do virtually anything you want, including relatively long snippets of text. I believe there's an upper limit but I don't know what it is.
