Always knows what key you press, regardless of how many are down at once

The new keyboard from QPAD might just be any gamer's dream, so to speak, considering that, even while needing just a USB connection, it has full N-key roll over.

N-key rollover is that special asset that only a handful of keyboards have.

Basically, the hardware scans each key independently, allowing for correct keypress detection even when a whole bunch of keys are used at once.

In other words, it is the ultimate anti-ghosting function.

The MK-85 mechanical gaming keyboard, as it is called, has non-tactile, non-audible Cherry MX Red switches, many programmable keys, USB and audio hub functionality and red LED backlighting.

It will start shipping next month (December, 2011) for the price of 149 Euro, or $200, give or take.

QPAD also has an MK-50 getting ready, which is a bit less versatile and sells for 80 Euro / $106.
