Looks like a homemade keyboard hack encased in a project box...  probably suffers from ghosting and/or blocking.

They're also very expensive for a 2 player encoder if you ask me.  Granted they have wire and nice disconnects on it already, but $60 US for a 2p encoder is still expensive.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

You can get them cheaper.  Supposedly they claim that they do NOT suffer from ghosting or blocking.  I saw it on another auction for $37 shipped, and they claim no ghosting or blocking in the auction.
