problem solved. not really a problem but an error on my part. this item i purchased is not the keyboard encoder,
its a gamepad encoder. works fine. shows up as a game controller in the control panel.

what threw me off
is that on the circuit board are printed values like 1234, aceg, ikmo, rldu and 8765. i am guessing the company
that makes these use the same board as the keyboard encoder.

they look very similar, but one has a usb and the other has a traditional keyboard connector.
I was very excited to receive the part and turns out it actually works fine, i was just expecting it to send
keystrokes like the keyboard hacks that i am accustomed to.

thanks for all the help and thanks to groovgamegear.com for providing this item.

mv.

ps works fine, no need for drivers, very fast encoding and great low price.

I believe it's a different board, but I'm with you on the 'confusion' part.   I'm sure there's a reason for the way they're laid out, but the repetition of letters/numbers on the board makes it confusing for me as well.  Is your wire connected to the pin marked "U" or the other pin marked "U" on the board?   The "G" indicates a ground... well, except for the one time that it doesn't. 

Below is the diagram for the KeyWiz (keyboard encoder).  Could it be a little more confusing?

The non-ground "G" pin defaults to "J", the "U" to an "R", the "R" to a "G" the "G" to a....  :dizzy:

So you don't know what it is you bought.....!!?? you don't have the data sheet in front of you??, you can't read the words GPWiz that are on top of the chip in big letters??

When you said it was a Keywiz Eco plugged into your USB, the only assumption we could make was that you WERE plugging a Keywiz Eco into your USB port via a PS2 to USB adapter. In which case it would have shown up as a USB keyboard.

Pleased to see you sorted it out, but please, in future try to describe items accurately or we all end up giving you answers that you either don't need or which are way off the mark.
