Gaming keyboard question

[SEAL62505]

I am looking into getting a new keybaord (will be used for games along with everything else). So far I am looking at -
Saitek Executive
or
Microsoft Digital Media Pro

I have heard complaints that the ms keyboard can't register multiple keys pressed down at once. (example- ctrl-w-space) Does this problem exist on the Executive? What causes the problem (I thought I had heard something that usb 2.0 keyboards don't have this problem)?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone has any other suggestion on a kb, please let me know. (the eclipse is a little expensive, or else i would consider that too)
Thanks!

Get the Saitek. I am right now tpying on the Saitek Gamer's Keyboard

OR, for something very cheap, yet VERY GOOD, get the logitech media keyboard. Btw, PS/2 can handle the same amount of keys as USB input, it's the hardware that counts not the input. The logitech can press around 6/7 keys at once and it can cost as low as 10 bucks (yea, i got it for 10...VERY good deal)

I love my Nostromo n52 speedpad.

I should say I have my Nostromo n52 speedpad paired up with the Game Commander 2.0. Yup I know the software is old but being able to give a voice command rocks.
