We've seen higher-end gaming keyboards from both Logitech and Razer that claim to have solved the ghosting problem. Some more affordable keyboards even boast "selective anti-ghosting" on the WASD keys that many PC gamers use. Microsoft's new SideWinder X4 gaming keyboard may be the first to offer all-key anti-ghosting at an affordable price.
Ghosting, if you're unfamiliar, is the tendency for standard keyboards to lose track of key presses when you're already holding down another key. For gamers that perform lots of keyboard finger gymnastics, ghosting can be a problem. Previous solutions from Razer and Logitech have allowed between five and ten simultaneous key presses. The technology behind Microsoft's new SideWinder X4 allows you to press up to 26 keys at the same time.
