holy shit

THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG

typed perfectly on a built-in laptop on a shitty HP Pavillion.

Well... that's interesting. Let me go check my ProBook and see if it'll do it.

EDIT: HP keyboards officially don't suck

SOMETIMES THEY DO THAT AND THEN IT MAKES ME TYPE IN ALL CAPS FOR A WEEK OR TWO AS A WAY OF ASSERTING THAT I AM A LARGE THREATENING HALF-TIGER HALF-BEAR AND THAT YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM ME

Looks like it's having a few issues with 3-key rollover though..

I have some 20$ CISNET one. It works perfect fine for my needs, even if it is junk.

I'll try to explain. Most keyboards' hardware isn't configured to properly allow 3 or more keys to be pressed at the same time.

"Ghosting" is the problem that some keyboard keys don't work when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously. The key presses that don't show up on the computer or seem to have disappeared are said to have been "ghosted". On most keyboards, even some that are explicitly marketed as "Anti-Ghosting," this happens with many three key combinations. Imagine playing your favorite video game and not being able to, say, run diagonally and fire your weapon at the same time (say pressing a, w, and g simultaneously). This is a result of the internal design of most existing keyboards, as will be explained below.

Typically, ghosting is the result of one or more of following three limitations: the hardware can't read the given key combination, the software on the computer doesn't support multiple simultaneous keys, or the communication protocol between the hardware and software limits the maximum number of simultaneous keys reported. The next discusses in more detail the hardware design of typical keyboards that limits the number of keys that can be read at the same time.

Most keyboards are made of a stack of plastic sheets printed with silver ink in a grid of column and row wires, initially unconnected, underneath the keys. A key press can then be detected as a connection made between a particular pair of column and row wires from the pressure of the key above it.

Pressing a key:

2 keys:

2 keys on same row/column (does not cause ghosting)

Many keys on the same row (also OK, these are still distinct)

3 keys that share rows/cols... confuses the keyboard a bit
