Hi,
I have ordered a CoolerMaster Devastator Mouse+Keyboard combo from Snapdeal.
I was reading reviews and I found out that this keyboard may have ghosting issues. Has anyone faced issues with this keyboard?
Also I play a lot of Fifa and this might cause issues and especially online if ghosting occurs its a huge problem. So I just wanted to know if its a major issue with the keyboard as I will have to press 4-5 keys at a time when playing Fifa.

Thanks in advance.

My friend is using it for past six or seven months (maybe more), he loves it to core.

Most of the membrane keyboards have ghosting issues(they are actually KRO issues as per what you are looking for in a keyboard) as they are built to reduce the keyboard price as compared to mechanical keyboards. These membrane keyboards are mostly 2-KRO(2- Key Roll-Over) i.e max of 2 keys pressed together get registered. Some advanced membrane keyboards have anti-ghosting around the WASD keys.

Mechanical switches are mostly 6-KRO and a few expensive ones with truly N-KRO as they have separate circuitry for each keys to address ghosting.

Devastator keyboard seems to be a cheap membrane keyboard with backlights as the main draw point. The specs for this kb doesn't mention about any anti-ghosting/KRO. Once you get your keyboard you can get it tested for KRO. There are several methods to test, just google it up.
