It does have a few battle scars but everything still works great and the keys are still very clicky

How do you deal with the multiple keystroke issues? If I remember correctly, it's only able to have a few simultaneous keystrokes before it doesn't recognize it.

You mean the lack of n-key rollover? To be honest, that's never been an issue for me and I do a fair bit of gaming.

Oh good. I remembered having that issue in the 90s when using these keyboards.

I ran into it using a PS2-USB adapter with mine. I can't remember which game but I want to say some kind of FPS where I was hitting a lot, and even then it wasn't terrible but enough to notice. For day to day typing I never had an issue.
