Hey, didja see this appended to his current eBay auctions? "In an effort to keep the general public well informed about the speed, performance, and reliability of Tokn Media's line of encoders, we've published the readme doc that is part of the documentation distributed to each paying customer on the toknmedia website. Reading these docs goes a far way in getting the best out of your purchase. Be sure to check it out. 16 simultaneous keypress supported. No ghosting, no delays, no stuck keys. We make this claim in no others terms but absolute. Others won't, other can't. Check one out. Cheers, Mattp Tokn Media" |

--- Quote from: KevSteele on June 21, 2005, 12:20:52 pm ---Well, it's an accurate record of my experience: it was positive until I actually tried multiple keypresses, whereupon it all went downhill fast. :-[ --- End quote --- Well okay, if you look at it that way. My point is I think most visitors to RetroBlast will not realize it was updated and will expect the whole review to have been written after evaluating the product completely. Interesting we both came to the same conclusion from opposite ends. You originally like the encoder, and now think it sucks. If you read through this from the beginning, after initial testing, I thought the unit sucked, and now think it can work for limited applications, but is way over-priced and deceptively marketed. --- Quote ---I realize you can, by jumping through hoops and ignoring the layout, get the joystick + six buttons. But in my mind you shouldn't have to do that: it either works as advertised or it doesn't. I wouldn't recommend this encoder to anyone planning a MAME project when there are better options that are actually cheaper, such as the KeyWiz Ecos. --- End quote --- Agreed, the matrix should be layed out so inputs labelled as action keys don't produce ghosting, or MattP should say you have to use diodes with the encoder. And in any case, it should be more competitively priced. --- Quote ---If you're going to label outputs "Buttons 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8" on a MAME encoder, I expect to be able to use those buttons. --- End quote --- Agreed. --- Quote ---BTW, you'll all get a kick out of this: check out the "AME Keyboard Encoder" labeling (the missing M is scratched off!) --- End quote --- Now THAT's funny. |
