How does the Alpha Geek establish dominance over the other techies in the herd? With a self-consciously old fashioned, expensive, and fussy computer accessory, of course! We take a look at the Das keyboard and see if it's that much better than the mushy crap keyboard that came bundled with your Dell.

The 12-key rollover only works if the keyboard is plugged into a PS/2 port, I believe. The USB spec wasn't built with N-key rollover in mind, so the best it's going to do is 6-key rollover. (http://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=524)
If you need full N-key rollover use PS/2 and check geekhack.com.
I can't comment on the Unicomps locking up after 3 keys, but I can't get more then 5 keys out of my 1370477 Model M.
