    Does the UX310 suffer from keyboard ghosting?

    Hello there,

    I am very interested in buying the ASUS UX310UQ, but I have a question concerning the keyboard ghosting issue. Ghosting is when you press a certain number of keys simultaneously, and any additional key pressed is not registered anymore.

    For example, I noticed it (on another ultrabook) when I played a shooter, and while I was walking diagonally (thus pressing W and A simultaneously), I could not reload with R, since a third key pressed was not registered.
    Although I never encountered this issue on my pcs and notebooks before, this issue seems to be not uncommon in the ultrabook setion. I am aware that every keyboard not specified as anti-ghosting has ghosting at some point, but not being able to press 3 key at the same time seems a bit sparse to me.


    There is a Keyboard Ghosting Test from Microsoft online: https://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/KeyboardGhostingDemo.mspx

    Can some of you owners please test if ghosting occurs on the UX310, and how many keys you can press until it happens? Maybe test it with my explained example in particular? (W + A + R, maybe even + Shift)
