The KeyWiz does have a +5V output, so you can hook an Opti-pac to it. (And the USB opti-pac may not need an external +5V. --- End quote --- But does Oscar's USB control only work for one item? The optipac can have like 2 trackballs and 2 spinners. |

The optipac can have like 2 trackballs and 2 spinners. --- End quote --- Well, I said it was a toss-up. Theoretically Oscar's control only works for one item, but it also only costs 1/4 of the opti-pac's price. Also OSCAR has a circuit here http://www.oscarcontrols.com/DPDTswitch.shtml for running a spinner and tracball from the same control. (And I think you could wire it up without the switch if you weren't worrried about bumping one control and messing up the other one.) So, you could get 2 spinners and 2 trackball from 2 OSCAR interfaces. The Opti-pac has the advantage that it will automatically switch to the active device, but with one OSCAR interface per device, you could have up to eight devices (actually eight mice, so 16 spinners or 8 trackballs) connected simultaneously and use Analog + to assign them to the proper players. (in Win '98). Depends on what you want. Personally, I want portable trackballs and spinners that I can hook to any USB computer, so OSCAR's interface works better for me. But with a genuine cab, this is less of an issue. |
