The Razer BlackWidow (2012 version or before) is advertised as a 6k-roll keyboard, but not all 6 keys combinations work without ghosting (for example, the default key layout for osu!mania is not supported well by the keyboard, it only goes to 4k-roll with it). And there are some keys combinations that work as a 9k-roll.

The most comfortable 9k-roll key combination I have found so far is A S D F 7 8 9 + and 0 (0 instead of spacebar). All the numbers from the numberpad.
Are there any 9k-roll combinations that are more confortable? Should I learn to play using that key combination or should I deal with ghosting?

iirc standard blackwidow only supports anti-ghosting around WASD keys. I suggest you to try to use keyboard with NKRO features, preferably the ones that work on PS/2 port.

So the key layout I can use with the BlackWidow has an inherent disadvantage? (I can't play 7K yet, so I don't know well how much harder is pressing 0 instead of Space for middle key).

Also, I already spent $112 in the keyboard... I don't want to spend more money in keyboards in a while... (also I don't have a PS/2 port in any of my computers).

If you scroll down there is:

Test: Web-Based

Microsoft Ghosting Demonstration

and click to use. Then you can presss the buttons and see what is registering for 7 presses at once. I think ASDF numpad1 2 3 enter or SDF space numpad 1 2 3 are working or try if you can get a conversion for the PS/2 port and i think it will help with ghosting problems, but im not sure..

There will be 8k maps, so it is more convenient to use 9k-rollover key combinations.... unless I change the key layout depending on the map.
The best 7k layout I have found so far is (SDF 456 Space) (Forced to press space with left hand only) or (SDF 789 0).

Also using a PS/2 to USB adapter wouldn't work.
