I want to stress something here to anyone with the intestinal fortitude to have followed this thread to this point.  What follows is a personal viewpoint and that viewpoint is not a comment on any individuals products or offerings or intended to make anyone think a certain way about anything.  If you are taking it that way, you are viewing my comments incorrectly.  It is given only as an explanation as to why I do not offer a USB option in defense of insinuations made by patrickl.

The fact that I care is precisely why I don't make a USB encoder.  I want my customers to have the best, most trouble-free experience I can provide to them.

I do not personally feel that USB keyboard technology can provide the level  of performance or compatibility required to be the option of choice when used for this application.  I don't personally want it responsible for the controls on my system,  therefore I will not encourage it's use to others by offering it as an option.  It doesn't get any simpler or more complicated than that.

Does it mean that I will not make a USB controller available when I feel it is absolutely necessary or if there is an application I feel is suited for it?  Of course not.  My apologies to our USB only and Mac friends for not currently offering you a solution and I'm happy you have other options out there.

So say what you want about my commitment to my customers, but there are things my personal beliefs won't allow me to do, even if it means less income for my coffers.  But that's ok, I'll continue to offer other items to the community that will make up the difference.  :)

Now that's a much better approach than trying to ridicule me (allthough I'm sad to see there again is a stab in there). That might even be a believable explanation why you don't have a USB encoder. Though, you could still have it as an add-on. Like with the I-PAC so that when the USB keyboard is implemented "better" they don't need to go through the bother of having to replace their encoder. It's a lot of wires to reconnect if you change one  of those.

Apparently I just edited my post while you posted your reply, but that addition still stands. I'd still advise to go for something that's easily USB compatible now rather than suffer the possible consequences later. Especially since the thread is about the I-PAC and that encoder can be USB compatible if you just spend a little extra.

For example, I doubt I could mash a button more than 4 or 5 times a second, but lets give me the benefit of the doubt and say that I can hit 10 presses per second......

4 players, all moving and all punch/kick/jump at the same time = 8.  Not common but likely/possible for those of us with 4 player cabs and 3 friends. ;)

holy crap, I can't believe you bumped this thread just to say that.
