    I'm very curious about these keyboards... I'm assuming they are not mechanical, right? I think a mechanical laptop keyboard is too much to ask, eh?

    Anyway, my real question is about the internal connection laptops keyboards use. Would the steelseries keyboard have a ps/2 type internal connection (i.e. no limit to the number of keys that can be simultaneously pressed) or is it the equivalent of a USB style connection (max. 6 keys)?

    I'd love to get an answer from XoticPC, but if anyone else knows the answer to these questions for sure that would be awesome.

    99.9% certain it's not mechanical. there was a somewhat lengthy discussion about keyboard ghosting in the 9150 owners' lounge. mythologic reported ghosting even with the steelseries. i'm assuming that's why you ask...
