I don't see any other encoder with that option and it works well in conjunction with Happ controls. |

I got the USB adapter yesterday from X-Arcade. Simply put, this thing is lame. There's a noticable lag on the inputs. Certain combos in fighting games (SF2, MK1,2,3) just can't be done. I hate it. I'll be sending it back for a refund. I just can't believe that they can't make a USB interface without lag. Come on.... So, I either have to put an Ipac USB board in there, or give up and sell it. >:( I even searched for a PCMCIA PS/2 card that would interface with a notebook, but nothing like that exists. >:( >:( |

Probably a long shot with the same lack luster results but would something like this work: http://www.networktechinc.com/usb-ps2.html |

That's a pretty beefy adapter. But, my guess is it probably won't work. I think the reason is that the Windows USB-Keyboard interface just isn't fast enough for a game controller. It could just be a driver issue, but there's no substitute driver to use or experiment with. The x-arcade usb adapter uses a standard HID USB keyboard driver written in '01. |

I just called X-Arcade tech support. They are sending me another USB adapter to try. All they said was it has different electronics inside. I'll give an update when I try it out. I hope it works! |
