to have lots of buttons, which (for example) many games do, it's far
less clear. It would not surprise me to see rollover requirements go
as high as nine or maybe even ten in extreme cases; certainly when
playing the piano I need N-key rollover for N above 6 - fortunately my
piano, unlike most computer text keyboards, is designed for that sort
of thing. (It's an electronic piano, not a mechanical one, but a
pretty good one as such things went when I bought it; it definitely
supports N-key rollover for N well over 6.)
I believe I mentioned music keyboards as an exception, as in the
ancient Casio WK-1200 sitting at my right elbow here, which could
probably render the Tom Turpin style of playing (i.e. sit on the
keyboard, or so it was reported) just fine.
