It's not really illegal advertising. 8 key rollover keyboards are actually only 6 key rollovers anyway. Due to the ctrl/alt modifiers making them 7/8 key rollover. I wonder how they get this "20 key rollover" when no-one else has been passing 8 keys for years. But I do see that they advertise 20 key rollover. Don't know why you would need 20 key rollover anyway.
"Gaming" keyboards worth it?

I dont think gaming keyboards are worth it, I game the same with and without a gaming one It just down to whats nice to type on, though the lights are nice if you game at night.
Thats because logitech G series keyboards are just normal keyboards with some fancy bits stuck on at a premium price. at least mechanical keyboards have a reason to be somewhat pricey.

Never had problem with G11-G's work perfect in most of titles and logitech updating list of games very often.
I used to use G keys very often in MMO games and those which have many commands, however since I own Razer Naga G keys is most of the time untouchable.
Owned many keyboards and never felt difference while gaming.

Hi, l just use a Microsoft KB £6 + a MX518.
Microsoft did it with the Sidewinder X4. Then it all went quiet for a while. I assume if Corsair is now advertising 20+ key rollover, they have licensed the IP from Microsoft. Nobody needs 20 key rollover. Nobody needs NKRO either. But if 20+ is manageable over USB it gives the illusion of being NKRO as nobody has that many fingers, or fingers fast enough for it to be of a concern. There are exceptions where NKRO and 20+ key rollover are important of course such as instances were rolling your forehead across the keyboard is a valid means of expressing what you wish to rqheeaohfgao;gfavd;gadvf
Not sure if you are just trolling, especially given the fact you say the BlackWidow is a good keyboard, when the keyboard isn't optimised for gaming, meaning 2KRO blocks, in any case, you are giving out poor information.
How am I giving out poor information? I researched mechanical keyboards for months before buying the BSWU which I bought for the Cherry MX keys as well as the fact it actually looks like a normal keyboard and not some ugly thing sitting on my desk. Plus have you used a Blackwidow keyboard at all? if not no opinion and unless you can actually prove it has 2KRO blocks then don't say it does. Plus read up on 8KRO for any mechanical keyboard its actually 6/7 key due to MODIFIER KEYS.
Tell you what, go to this URL http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/content/projects/KeyboardGhostingDemo.aspx Try the demo with the combination Z X C, tell me what happens.
but can do ZXC.thats a link to the Blackwidow Ultimate not Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth edition which is what Im using. All those combo's work as well by themselves and with wasd.
Ah right. Yeah, the stealth edition is updated for 6KRO.
