A nephew wants this keyboard:

The price makes me think it ought to be encrusted with gold and diamonds or something, but there is one feature that is something that's had me worried about replacing my trusty 1999 PS/2 keyboard that originally cost about £3 UKP.
When I play old Tomb Raider games, I frequently use keyboard combinations like numpad 0 + shift + arrow keys and/or extra numeric pad keys (maybe four at once in total, not sure). On the occasion that I've attempted to play the game with another keyboard, the computer evidently didn't like it when I tried to use that many keys at once (temporary pause in action and a bleep). As my current keyboard is still holding on strong and only needs a clean from time for hygiene/aesthetic reasons, this isn't urgent, but if I did want to replace this keyboard at some point in the future, is it a pure lottery among cheaper keyboards to get the feature I'm looking for (which I think is anti-ghosting), or paying a huge price like for the keyboard I originally mentioned?
