So he'll use your work and explanation on how to fix his product, but still be a jerk about it.  Why not just come out say thank you for the info and let everyone know that the product has a fix for the problems? He could easily get people on his side.

If tiger and Randy are the same, why on earth would Randy have explained to a competitor how to make his product better through the use of diodes.

--- Quote ---Has anyone ever actually used diodes to get around ghosting and blocking successfully, or is it just theoretical?

Yes, has been done.  Works on the LPT Switch, and on the ButtonBox (www.surf.to/buttonbox).  KeyDog has mentioned that they can be used.  Works on early (pre 1989) keyboard hacks that don't use blocking.

--- Quote ---Can you actually add diodes to a TOKN16 and get 16 simultaneous keypresses?

Haven't tried it, but I'm tempted to.  Theoretically it should work with no problems, but you're still paying more for a 16-input encoder than RandyT charges for a 32-input.  You just don't have to worry about ghosting.

Too much negative info in my review for a simple thank-you (and too much anti-me stuff that he's posted before for him to save face and admit I'm right).

The better question is probably how I manage to tighten up the level of witty comments and sarcasm when I post as Randy and tone it down when I post as Tiger.

Please no one (not the NBA guy) take this too seriously.
