    I have read that on many of the Sager's, specifically 9170, you cannot press more than three keys at once, is this true? I believe people have called this "ghosting". This would be a major let down as many games I play require pressing three or more keys at once. Thanks!

    heard talk about ghosting but thought it was more to do with the screen and not the keys.i could be wrong though.
    as far as i can tell its affected a few people only compared to the many many thousands of units sold worldwide.

    Ghosting was an issue for some when these models first came out but i haven't heard any complaints of it in quite a while.

    Ghosting is specific to particular keys on the keyboard, depending on the design. The SteelSeries has improved their keyboards and I haven't heard any gripes as of late on the Clevo line, either.

    You can test your keyboard here.
