| ipac - laggy pushbuttons |
| (1/3) > >> |

I'm not sure how else to describe this issue. I wired my CP a couple nights ago and last night installed Winipac to test it all out. Except for wiring the joysticks backwards (duh) all of the buttons work. However, I noticed that some don't respond as well to rapid pressing as others. For example, player 1 start will flash on the screen as fast as I can press it, but player 2 start lights up about every other press. Bad switches maybe? |

I got the exact same thing on one button - fortunately its on the p1 start so not an issue for me. I exchanged microswitches to check for a problem there, no change in behavior. I checked continuity on the wire from the switch to the ipac, no prob there, but didn't go as far as replacing it. In notepad, it's exactly like you say. every other button shows up as fast as I can press them, but that one registers one letter for about every 2 presses. I can't remember what letter it is but it's p1 start on the opti pac 2. as best I can tell it does send a keypress the first time it is pressed. Any ideas? I wouldn't even have posted this but it's interesting the same issue arose with another cp. I bought the Ipac in march 2011. Can get serial #'s etc. if needed. |

On my IPAC4, Player 1 start does exactly this. That's because P1 Start is the SHIFT Modifier key, and holding it down allows use of the shifted keycode set. Edit: Also make sure if you're using a USB>PS2 adapter, that it's a straight-wired one, not an actual converter, as the converters cause the IPAC to puke. |

I'm using a PS-2 cable to a PS-2 port. The shift thing makes total sense. I'm not using any shifted keys via winIpac so I hadn't delved into it. Thanks for the info. |

I'm using the USB cable that came with the IPAC. I'll check tonight, it might have been P1 and not P2 that was the laggy one, however I know that at least one of my pushbuttons (P1 button #2) is also laggy. |
