New Das Keyboards do support nKey Rollover via USB [1].

[1]: http://www.daskeyboard.com/daskeyboard-4-ultimate/



Older das keyboards supported 6-key rollover via USB (running into protocol limits) or 12-key rollover via PS/2, IIRC.


Interesting that this site states

Just press shift + mute to toggle NKRO.

I understand why you would want this enabled. I'm not sure I understand the negative implications, so - what are potential reasons to _disable_ that?


That is curious. Relying on an extra driver? Acting like multiple keyboards on a USB hub to work around USB protocol limitations, possibly causing complications or weirdness? </wildlyguessing>


Some BIOSes doesn't work with NKRO enabled. If yours does, you can safely enable it.
