That might be interesting for games that can take advantage of it... STOP GIVING ME IDEAS |

Great link! Exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered 3 for my 2 cabs I am building. Thanks for sharing! ~ D |

This is very interesting, especially for anyone looking to do a modular/swappable panel system. Although using an IPAQ or Keywiz looks easy enough, for a swappable panel system nothing would be easier than having everything USB and a USB hub under the CP, then just plug the panel in and go. Very interesting. |

so before I order a couple... you tested it and you only need 1 ground for everything and there is no phantom keys, etc? |

Thats correct. 'Ghosting' is generally only a problem when hacking a keyboard because it uses a matrix of circuits when closed in combination, form a particular key press. As I understand it, USB controllers like this, and encoders like ipac etc have dedicated circuits for each button so there's no risk of 'pressing A + B = Button C' Before soldering everything to a single ground wire, I tested all of the ground points of every button with other ground points, to confirm they were common. Nevertheless, if you're still unsure, order one of them, give it a try, then order some more :) |
