TOKN KB16 ENCODERS
tonyarcade:
Can anyone speak to these??
They are on Ebay for virtually nothing and promise easy installation.
Are they easy to use, dependable? A good cheap option???
Thanks
Tony

Thanks
I was leaning toward the KeyWiz Max, but they were selling mega cheap on Ebay so I figured worth a question.

Tony,
Check out the eBay feedback for TOKN KB16 and KB32.
Its pretty clear from the unfiltered feedback that people are very happy with the product.
You get to see the unfiltered feedback, out in the clear for all to see
which is something that the other offerings seem to be hesitant to do.
Be aware of slanted emails and postings from competitors, especially ones that contain Tiger in their name.
The KB16 is targeted for a single joystick alternating player setup.
1 joy, 8 gameplay buttons, and 4 control (esc, coin, 1p start, 2p start).
If you're looking for dual joystick with more inputs, check out KB32.
The area where TOKN excels is its speed and active passthrough for daisychaining.
You can connect a keyboard or even connect them together for multiplay. Another key feature is local key storage
in on board EEPROM. Just plug and play, its already loaded with the MAME default keycodes.
If you are considering other encoders and they don't say EEPROM, well guest what, they don't have it! Keep an eye out for the www.retroblast.com TOKN KB16 review that is coming up soon.
eBay free bid starting at a quarter, posted daily, can't beat it!
Cheers and best of luck in your MAME ventures.
Matt

LOL, yes e-bay feedback is the best way to pick a keyboard encoder.
And watch out for tiger-heli he gets money for every guy that he helps get the best product. ::)
No need to come out swinging. There's room for your encoder in the market. Not everyone goes high end. You can be like the Wal-mart for encoders.
