Just a heads-up that in response to feedback and extensive beta-testing with customers, Xgaming has updated the electronics / encoder of the X-Arcade Controller in Feb. of this year with the following updates:
http://www.xgaming.com/pages/new-x-arcade-pcbThis 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 PressesNew encoder design can handle 12 simultaneous inputs/key commands and 3 additional using the modifiers (CTR, ALT, SHIFT).
Change Programmed Modes Without Pressing Load ButtonDue 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 1No more issues with pressing the num-lock key as this board uses the arrow keys (not num-lock keys).
Improved SpeedNewly designed board circuitry provides performance and speed matching any current encoder.
