 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
@@ -70,28 +81,64 @@ Extended report is expected to be compatible with boot protocol.
 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.

-Compatibility Problem
----------------------
-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.

+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)
