My Noppoo Choc Mini is full N-key rollover over USB, although it doesn’t work with Mac OS X (it has full Windows compatibility, and Linux compatibility is pretty good; the only real problem on Linux is that the Caps-lock LED doesn’t light when you turn Caps-lock on, and scroll lock doesn’t work at all because who uses that anyway?) It’s a fantastic small-form-factor keyboard at a much lower price than the Happy Hacking keyboard, and I recommend it highly.

I think Keith is correct. My G15 (old version) can only do 3-key in some combinations. For example: tfgy – only 3 will register.

Apparently Logitech’s new G510 (which is basically the original G15, minus the hinge on the LCD screen, and plus colored backlighting) guarantees 5-key rollover, so that’s an improvement at least. Still expensive though, and still not even 6-key rollover. Disappointing.

Well, that’s just great. Bloody expensive too, and now it’s not even a 6-key rollover?

The Logitech G15 (the original version with 18 macro keys and blue backlight, not the new one with fewer macro keys and orange backlight) is not 6 key rollover capable. I just tested mine with Aqua’s KeyTest, and with only WASD held down, there are 13 keys that will not register, meaning at best, this version is only 4-key rollover capable (plus most modifier keys, with the exception of caps lock).

The keys it will not register with WASD held down are: Esc, F6, F10, F12, +/=, O, |/\, Caps Lock, ‘/”, Left arrow, and 1, 2, and 5 on the numeric keypad. WASD is the only combination I’ve tested, it’s possible it may not even be a full 4-key rollover.
