Yeah, Ducky has it over USB, and I think DAS does too.Ducky Shine II should work. I believe it has Nkey rollover on both PS/2 and USB, or at least PS/2
No keyboard is going to make you instantly better as a gamer and honestly a good player can still play with a keyboard without N-Key Rollover. It can be frustrating if you're the type of player who likes to kneel/prone, turn around, fire and throw grenades at the same time but other than them maybe the bunny hopping grenade throwers will be affected too. I don't see how a mechanical keyboard would help a FPS player out. It is mostly the RTS players who enjoy them as you know the key's breaking point from no action to action so you can double-tap easier. So maybe the bunny hoppers who want to consistently hop without interruption?
The K90 seems like a good keyboard so even if you just play FPS games it should still be a solid board.
I'm still waiting for a keyboard to wow me. I would love a Cherry MxRed / Brown with custom lighting so I can turn off all LEDs but the WASD keys for simple games like FPS games or make them different colors for when I'm playing more complex games like SC2.
Without a doubt, Cherry MX Blue switches are the best for any keyboard, if you're willing to pay the price. Personally I use a Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition, since its smaller footprint is preferred.
My MX Browns actually help me with MMOs. Because I can press down a lot of keys at once I can cast whatever attacks I want with debuffs and etc at the same time. (While they don't happen at the same time, the game registers the keys and then lines the abilities up). With the crappy keyboard I had previously I always miss out on a few keys.
Although 4 key roll over is more than I'll ever need for games.
There's a reason there are multiple keyswitch types on the market: no one switch satisfies everyone. It's just like how no one headphone satisfies everyone, for a number of reasons.
MX Blues are pretty nice, but the higher release point IS an issue that understandably irritates a lot of people, especially those that don't let off the key entirely before depressing it again.
I can understand why people like linear switches like MX Browns (seriously, you call that a tactile bump?), MX Blacks, and MX Reds, but that doesn't mean I have to like them or find them viable for gaming just because the common rhetoric is that linear is somehow better for gaming. I can game just fine on IBM buckling springs (still my favorite switch), MX Clears, and even MX Blues to an extent, and all of them have the tactility that I crave.
If you can, try to sample every sort of keyswitch before committing to one. I managed to get on a Geekhack "open sink" list for that (sort of like what MLE did with the HE-400, where you get the item, try it for a bit, and just pay shipping to pass it on to the next person), and that's how I found out I liked the obscure Cherry MX Clear switch quite a lot...while also not being too impressed with the Topre switch, which was, as expected, a smooth-feeling rubber dome.
