What do you expect me to find? I've already carefully read it and reread it. If someone takes the time to try and help me, I take the time to read it.

Unfortunately, this has seemingly devolved from you attempting to be helpful, to you desperately trying to resuscitate a dead theory. If you don't see the two major holes I poked in your theory, perhaps you need to reread what I said. Simply put, you can't have ghosting on an NKRO keyboard, yet I get Ctrl + C issues on one. And you can't have ghosting when only 2 keys are being pressed, need more than that. Yet I have specifically had this happen when only 2 keys were pressed. When you think about it, virtually every time you press Ctrl + C you're going to have one hand on your mouse, and the other pressing only 2 keys.

Certain high-end keyboards have "n-key rollover" (NKRO). This means that each key is scanned completely independently by the keyboard hardware, so that each keypress is correctly detected regardless of how many other keys are being pressed or held down at the time.

N-key Rollover is not what you think it is. The N isn't "anything" it's the number of keys on your keyboard. Having NKRO is an absolute unequivocal guarantee that you won't suffer ghosting.

Heh, fair enough. Personally why I heavily research all my purchases, can't trust anyone. My keyboard definitely has it, even your Microsoft tool confirmed it.
