Anyone ever seen a USB keyboard like this?
97thruhiker:
If you play other emulators besides Mame this could come in handy also. The Atari 2600 emulator I use requires the F2 button for which I'm constantly pulling out the keyboard for. I also like to play some of the old Apple II rpg / adventure games that require keyboard commands such as N,S,E,W for directional control, P for pickup, B to buy, etc. I might have to pickup this key strip for myself.

In case you want more detailed info or don't want to go through 'Tiger Direct'...

I'm not aware of what function <Enter> has in MAME32. Can you inform me? I'm pretty sure that MAME32 uses the same default keys mapped to the same default functions. can anyone verify this?

Sure you do! In MAME 32:
Tab: Brings up the menu.
Joystick Up/Down: Highlights the desired menu option.
Enter: Executes the selected menu option.

More technically, UI_Select is mapped to enter in mame's default setting. However, if you use any of the HotRod/XArcade/SilkStik ctrlr input files, UI_Select is also mapped to button 1, so you don't need enter if you use these.
Also, you can map mame's UI_Select to something besides enter yourself.
[shrug] Just throwing out options.

Mark and U_Rebelscum, thanks for the handy info about Enter! I have a SlikStik, so that explains why none of the buttons on it are actually mapped to <Enter>. Anyway, the X-Keys stick was delivered today!!! I'm hoping to try it out tonight, but we'll se if I hve time. I plan on reporting back to everyone, as I think this could be a good alternative to wiring up extra buttons to remaining inputs on an Ipac. We'll see. . .
