Does this also apply to firmware?  I'd be interested in a version that encodes as two joysticks with 12 buttons each.  (Or otherwise, 4 axes and 24 buttons)  Of course I realize that this may not be an easy request to satisfy since it requires changing the HID reports and the firmware that generates them.  But it doesn't hurt to ask, right?  :)  I'm really looking forward to playing around with the GP-Wiz.

Throughout the life of this thread I was going to groovygamegear.com and wondering where the heck all this other stuff was supposed to be...  I just saw the KeyWiz and Omni-Stik.  I guess I never thought of clicking the shopping cart image.

Only to a very limited extent, and then usually only when quantities are required.  Too much work goes into customizing firmware to be able to offer the service on an "on request" basis.  In the case of the KeyWiz, we tend to do this for  small things like custom default codesets and disabling typematic for special non-gaming applications, but again, there are usually quantities involved.

There are no immediate plans to change the configuration of the GP-Wiz, as the end functionality would remain virtually identical to the original product, except for very rare instances.

My apologies to anyone who this has happened with.  It's been a source of problems for a while now and will be fixed shortly.  We have a number of products emerging and quite frankly, I'd rather be "inventing" than "web designing".

There will be a new front page very shortly that will offer to take you directly to the store, or to the info site, along with a brief explanation as to how one gets from one to the other.  This will just a "band-aid" until I can devote more attention to the site.

I rather you be "inventing" as well.  Bring on the new products and maybe let someone else do the web design (no I'm not volunteering or recommending anyone).

Yeah, I thought that might be the case.  Thanks anyway!

That's a good point. I will take a look at the Joy2Key software to see how well it performs.  It could be a nifty way to get compatibility with the occasional non-arcade/console title where it might be an issue.

Randy,

I think I will almost certainly purchase one of your GP-Wiz units, but have
a few questions.

1) I would like to make sure that it will work flawlessly with Joy2Key using
all 32 buttons, so please post your testing results.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming  the 4 axes buttons : (Up, Down, Left, Right) will all  be recognized by Joy2Key?

2) If GP-Wiz is connected to a WinXP home PC, on the Control Panel- Game Controllers Properties- Test tab, would it show: a single Axis x/y and 28 buttons,
or would it show: just 32 buttons?

3) (forgive me, because this might be a stupid question)
Would a GP-Wiz using Joy2Key software be a better (i.e., faster, more reliable, etc.) than having a Key-Wiz using your Key-Wiz software?

Thank you very much so designing such an excellent product.
