Quick question guys, is there still keyboard ghosting in current/new Clevo laptops? If so, will using a PS/2 keyboard with USB adapter help overcome it?

Thanks!

No ghosting as far as I know. The last time we had that was with the EM series if I remember correctly.

But that's not why I decided to write here - its the PS/2 to USB adapter that you are considering.
A while back, I thought it was a good idea to get one of these to power my PS/2 kb and mouse for laptop use.
Well, turned out, some games had a problem with that adapter; latency on commands, pressing more than 2 keys at once (when jump-strafing and such) was impossible, among other things.

What Im trying to say is, you are better off with a USB keyboard, no adapters. That's only my personal experience.

Whoa, I must have gotten my Sager too early then lol (P170HM/NP8170).

Ah I see about the adapter; was asking as I was considering using a Model M with my Sager/Clevo. Time to consider other models/brands I guess
