| Connecting Joysticks & Buttons to keyboard? |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Retro_SA:
I'm busy ordering all my parts and for the first time I have to decide how to connect everything. I'm on a tight budget and shipping everything to South Africa from different suppliers is costing me a bit. So, instead of buying a keyboard encoder or Ipac or whatever, can I connect the buttons and joysticks to a keyboard? I'm going to be using the Magstik Plus joystick & buttons from Ultimarc. |

if you haven't already placed your order from ultimarc, I'd highly suggest just getting an iPac. keyboard hacks exist, but have lots of problems, are very complicated, and simply aren't as good as an encoder. |
| CheffoJeffo:
If you are placing an order from Ultimarc, add an IPac. If you are interested in keyboard hacking, start with the article in the wiki. |
| Retro_SA:
Ok, I decided to buy the Mini-PAC Standard with harness from Ultimarc. Thanks for the advice guys. |
| DeLuSioNal29:
Yes, I agree. Buy the I-pac. Keyboard hacking will have ghosting problems (which can be worked around, but it is not worth the trouble). ~ DeLuSioNaL |
