The Picard ManeuverIt will outlive us all
dashydashYeah but try pressing more than 4 keys at once on the PS2 keyboard and get back to me
e8d79That is a limitation of the keyboard not the PS/2. Unlike USB which is limited to 10 simultaneous key presses, PS/2 supports full n-key rollover.
This, it’s why I still use the PS2 interface. Full n-key rollover is impossible for me to do without.
Out of curiosity, what is the practical use of full N-key rollover? I can’t think of many things that require me to press more than maybe five keys at a time.
Used to have these problems when we were children and playing fighting games with my brother with one keyboard or guitar hero clones that need you to press multiple buttons at the same time, that’s the only use case I could think of. I don’t know if there’s any modern software that requires you to mash more than 2 or 3 buttons at the same time
If you type really fast, you’ll find it.
Bit of a niche use-case, but I’d like to have it for using my laptop keyboard as a piano keyboard, for basically MIDI input (via VMPK or one of the DAWs with this feature built-in).
There’s even certain combinations of just 4 keys, which I simply cannot play…
