X-Arcade Tankstick limited button presses (6 button limitation)
x-arcade:
Just a heads-up that in response to feedback and extensive beta-testing with customers, we've quietly updated our PCB in Feb, so USB connections now support 12 simultaneous button presses (or 15 with the modifier buttons)
http://www.xgaming.com/pages/new-x-arcade-pcb
This new revision board is included in all X-Arcade Tanksticks or BYO or PCB kits purchased after Feb, 2014 and will be incorporated into any Solo/Dual purchased after Dec 1st, 2014.
Other updates:
15 Simultaneous Button Presses
New chip design can handle 12 simultaneous inputs/key commands and 3 additional using the modifiers (CTR, ALT, SHIFT).
Change Programmed Modes Without Pressing Load Button
Due to feedback from customers, we removed the requirement to press the load button to change modes (which could be difficult if your controller or PCB is mounted in a cabinet), modes are changed (and loaded automatically) based on the position of the Mode switch.
Uses Arrow Keys For Player 1
No more issues with pressing the num-lock key as this board uses the arrow keys (not num-lock keys).
Improved Speed
Newly designed board circuitry provides performance and speed matching any current encoder.
