Just an FYI. I bought the PS2 Buzz controllers that come with the game. These work as a USB joystick. This means that you can use autoHotkey or whatever to remap the buttons as keystrokes to play YDKJ. Giving you a buzzer with the 4 answer buttons on it. Unfortunately these are wired controllers, so the cables can get tangled. But hey, they're cheap. I also bought the XBOX 360 Scene-it controllers. These are wireless USB. But the microsoft XBOX gaming controll drivers do not work with it. So unless drivers are found/made then these will not work. Too bad. Wireless controlls would be great. D. |

I never even considered the fact that those might work with YDKJ! I started a copy of the YDKJ button box a long time ago and never finished it. Having said that, what is stopping your opponents from picking the answer for you? I would assume all the answer buttons would have to be the same. |

Love the game. After playing for many hours, the best solution for us anyway, is to make sure every team has a keyboard. The buzzers look cool and all but you will need to pass a KB for the answers. Just my 2 cents. |

But then you get to punch the button happy person. :) You could always just only map the buzz in buttons. You can usually find the Buzz controllers on sale for $20 or less. Cheap, saves a lot of contsruction time and looks/feels great. I also have a small Gyration wireless keyboard handy to pass around when needed. Having the BUZZers sure beats everyone hunched over 1 keyboard. BTW, I map the extra 4th controller as the screw button. Sits on the table until needed and then the answer keys are the player to screw. Easier then finding the S on the keyboard. Saves wear and tear on the S key in "Jack The Ride" multi-screw. It is really too bad that there is no driver to get the Microsoft Scene-it controllers to work. Wireless would be way cooler. D. |
