OS Support Status
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------
 | 
			
		||||
NKRO is possible at least relatively new OS.
 | 
			
		||||
Following OS supports both Extended and Bitmarp report.
 | 
			
		||||
USB NKRO is possible *without* a custom driver.
 | 
			
		||||
At least following OSes supports.
 | 
			
		||||
    Windows7 64bit
 | 
			
		||||
    WindowsXP
 | 
			
		||||
    Windows2000 SP4
 | 
			
		||||
    Ubuntu10.4(Linux 2.6)
 | 
			
		||||
    MacOSX(To be tested)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Custom Driver for USB NKRO
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
NOT NEEDED
 | 
			
		||||
at least when using fllowing report formats on Windows, Linux or MacOSX.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
USB NKRO methods
 | 
			
		||||
----------------
 | 
			
		||||
1. Virtual keyboards
 | 
			
		||||
    Keyboard can increase its KRO by using virtual keyboards with Standard or Extended report.
 | 
			
		||||
    If the keyboard has 2 virtul keyboard with Standard report(6KRO), it gets 12KRO.
 | 
			
		||||
    If the keyboard has 2 virtual keyboard with Standard report(6KRO), it gets 12KRO.
 | 
			
		||||
    Using this method means the keyboard is a composite device.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
2. Exteded report
 |

 | 
			
		|||
Bitmap report can send at most 128keys by 16bytes and 256keys by 32bytes.
 | 
			
		||||
Bitmap report can achieve USB NKRO efficiently in terms of report size.
 | 
			
		||||
Bitmap report needs a deliberation for boot protocol implementation.

Bitmap report descriptor sample:

Compatibility Problem
 | 
			
		||||
---------------------
 | 
			
		||||
Considerations
 | 
			
		||||
--------------
 | 
			
		||||
Compatibility
 | 
			
		||||
    boot protocol
 | 
			
		||||
    minor/old system
 | 
			
		||||
        Some BIOS doesn't send SET_PROTCOL request, a keyboard can't switch to boot protocol mode.
 | 
			
		||||
        This may cuase a problem on a keyboard which uses other report than Standard.
 | 
			
		||||
Reactivity
 | 
			
		||||
    USB polling time
 | 
			
		||||
    OS/Driver processing time
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Windows Problem
 | 
			
		||||
---------------
 | 
			
		||||
1. Windows accepts only 6keys  in case of Standard report.
 | 
			
		||||
        It should be able to send 6keys plus 8modifiers.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
2. Windows accepts only 10keys in case of 16bytes Extended report.
 | 
			
		||||
        It should be able to send 14keys plus 8modifiers.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
3. Windows accepts only 18keys in case of 32bytes Extended report.
 | 
			
		||||
        It should be able to send 30keys plus 8modifiers.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If keys are pressed in excess of the number, wrong keys are registered on Windows.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This problem will be reportedly fixed soon.(2010/12/05)
