keywiz help - not working - need help
michelevit:
I just picked up two eco keywiz - they are usb versions with the no soldier option.
I went ahead and plugged them in and Windows XP pro found it as a new hardware and
said it was ok to use. I went and tryed to see if i could get some letters typed on a wordpad
to test it, but nothing happend.
I then installed the hardware, and it installed, but didn't connect with the keywiz.
the frustrating thing is that i purchased two encoders. one for me and one for a friend.
I couln't get either one to register. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I already tried
it on another computer- still no recognition.
I've done several keyboard hacks and several gamepad hacks and I finally brokedown and purchased
a legit controller and I cant seem to make it work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and I look forward to making it
work. Hopefully I'll have something working by this weekend.

I may be totally wrong, but I think that the wiz family of products are considered a game pad device and will not place letters as in a true keyboard. It may be working just fine. Try again with a joystick or push button with mame.

I still can't get it to recognize via the configuration software.
Frustrating. I don't have mame on this pc- its a fresh install
of the os.

Both Eco's are keyboard encoders, so both should register as keys.
michelevit try using it with out your main keyboard being plugged in.

The Keywiz encoder is (as far as your PC is concerned) a Keyboard!.... You can't have two keyboards plugged in at the same time or the PC gets very confused.
Unplug your keyboard and plug the Keywiz in by itself! It should be recognised as a USB Keyboard! Re-boot the computer and it will show up as your keyboard
