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? --- End quote --- Here's the problem. I can't find the utility out there for this. Ideally, such an app would be a native windows app that hooks DirectInput and then stuffs the keyboard buffer. Nothing I have been able to find will do this. Joy2Key seems to be a Linux app, and would probably work, but then you'd need to run Linux to use it. I'll keep looking, but if anyone knows of a utility that meets the above, please let me know so I can test it out. The one caveat I can add is that unless you absolutely need keypress data via the CP for your app, this isn't really necessary for a good running setup. --- Quote ---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? --- End quote --- A single, X/Y axis directional control (stick) and 28 buttons. Of course, there is absolutely no reason that multiple sticks can't be attached to those button inputs for 99% of the software out there. --- Quote ---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? --- End quote --- If there exists a utility that does what I described above, the functionality/speed would just about be a "wash" on decent system, with a possible small edge to the GP-Wiz setup. But the two products are really designed with different ideals in mind. The GP-Wiz is a high speed alternative for users who want/need USB or their controls to be seen as Gaming controls to the OS. The KeyWiz is more for the "traditionalists" who may have very complicated setups and want to be able to re-program controls on the fly. But in the end, both will "get the job done" quite well and I don't think anyone will be disappointed with either. --- Quote ---Thank you very much so designing such an excellent product. --- End quote --- And thank you for considering it :) RandyT |
