Newbie help with encoders
KapnKerfuffle:
Hi all, I could really use some help with choosing the right encoder(s) for these controls. I'm want to use Happ rotary optical joysticks because I want to play Ikari Warrior type games. I've seen the thread about the pros and cons of optical versus mechanical and I thought optical would be a good overall choice. Here are the controls I would like to go with.
2 Happ Optical Rotary
2 sets of 7 player buttons
Exit, Reset, 1P, 2P, 1P COIN, 2P COIN, PAUSE, MENU
Trackball + 2 mouse buttons
Spinner
4 way joystick
What would I need to use to hook up all these controls? Thanks in advance.

What about the rotaries, the trackball and spinner ?
:dizzy:
KapnKerfuffle:
Yep, the rotary on the joystick is my concern.
I do like the I-Pac. It seems like it will cover my joystick directions and all my player button, plus two admin buttons if I'm thinking right.
But that leaves my 2 rotaries, spinner, trackball, and 4-way, plus some admin and mouse buttons.
If I got an Opti-pac with my I-Pac, would I be covered then? Can two encoders be used at once? That might be dumb question but I'm a nooblet so I'll throw it out there. :dunno
Thanks for the replies.

What about Ultimarc's U-HID? That should handle most of that.
