Product Information

If some of the keys that you pressed are not registering, then you have issues with keyboard ghosting. If you don’t want to spend money on a new keyboard, or your problem is with the built-in keyboard of your laptop, then your options are very limited.

If you’re gaming, however, then keyboard ghosting could be a real issue. The best way to get around these problems is to invest in a keyboard that has anti-ghosting properties. Make sure to do your research—not all anti-ghosting keyboards are created equal. Keyboard ghosting often occurs when you’re pressing multiple keys at the same time. Some of the keys you press will register, but some of them may ghost. If the cause of your problem is a wired or Bluetooth keyboard, then the simplest solution is to replace this keyboard with one that is specifically designed to be anti-ghosting.If you want a keyboard that can handle any combination of keystrokes no matter the number of keys pressed, then look for an N-key rollover keyboard. This type of keyboard can register every key, no matter how many you’re holding down at once. When you press three keys in two different rows and two different columns, however, then things can get mixed up. Your computer sees that two different row wires have been activated, and two different column wires, but it can’t say for certain which individual keys caused those signals since there are multiple possible combinations that would produce the same output. Type on your physical keyboard and see the on-screen keyboard show which keypresses are recognized.

If you’re concerned that you may be suffering from keyboard ghosting, you can test for it. You could try using a word processing app and pressing combinations of keys to see which appear in your document, but this isn’t particularly accurate. You may find that you get a response from a key you didn’t press, or no response from a key that you did press. How to Test for Keyboard Ghosting These keyboards get around the problems that cause ghosting in different ways. The simplest anti-ghosting keyboards will have a different arrangement of wires so that ghosting doesn’t occur for the most common combinations of keystrokes. However, the problem may still arise if you use less common keystroke combinations.Thankfully, if you’re suffering from keyboard ghosting, your computer isn’t haunted. It just means that there are hardware limitations to your keyboard that are causing problems when you press multiple keys at once. When you’re typing, this isn’t such a big issue—you’ll rarely want to use several keys at once. When you’re gaming, however, you’ll often press multiple keys at the same time. If one or more of these keystrokes don’t register, it can ruin your gaming experience. Why Does Keyboard Ghosting Happen? If you’re experiencing keyboard ghosting, then there are a limited number of things you can do about it. Since the cause is often a limitation of your physical hardware, you really only have two main options. Use an Anti-Ghosting Keyboard There are apps that can remap your keys for you. The good news is that these apps usually make it simple to turn the remapping on and off, so you don’t have to learn how to type from scratch. Your Keyboard Matters combination of 6 works.
