I hadn't even heard of it!

Have you read the faq? They're listed under keyboard encoders.

The FAQ is a marketing strategy?

I was responding to the person who said he never heard of this particular encoder before and was pointing out that it was listed in the faq. I did not make the stealth marketing comment.
How do you market products for this hobby other than through message boards like this one? I don't see very much advertising on emulater news sites except for the big boys like x-arcade and slickstick.
Ron_Michallick:
Marketing, you definitely found my weak point. Like the web site says, the MK sales are just a hobby and I’m not really even sure how to promote it. I know the web site needs some work, but playing with html is not my idea of fun. I’ll get to it eventually. The best parts are the contacts I’ve made and the “this board works great” comments from customers.
Back to the new features. I have the macros feature written on three pages of flowcharts (about 3 hour’s code to write and 6 hours or more debugging). You can have up to 16 macros defined at a time, macros can be up to 63 keystrokes, and you can define the press key macro independently from the release key macro. There will even be a SHAZAM key (macros can have a command to switch banks).

Screw Terminals? ;D
Lilwolf:
Screw terminals would be nice...
BTW, I bought mine because you had a special of giving 5 bucks back to BYOAC at the time. I thought it was a great promotion. So if your looking for good marketing... that one worked for me : )

I use an MK64 and love it! The only feature I would want, and I doubt it would be possible, would be some kind of plug-and-play ability. What I mean is it already has the ID bit and that is great for swapping panels with a reboot but I would love it if I could hot-swap panels and have something automatically determine which panel is plugged in.
