Nope. Try for yourself.

I haven't wired it up yet, thanks for letting me know. My heart sank for a moment there.

I've held down all the buttons my hands could manage, and they all register.

I think the limit is 16 (for USB 1.1 at least) though you would be hard pressed to do this in most conceivable situations anyway.

Andy, there is one conceivable problem for me that I can spot straight away and I also have additional questions:

1) You say there is a PS/2 option but it only appears as a clickable option on the website when buying the board on it's own; there is no option for PS/2 on the 'standard board with joystick harness' like there was previously. As you know, we prefer to use the PS/2 connection if possible (only using the necessary USB version when having the Opti-harness) so the PS/2 option being absent from the 'standard board with harness' complicates the ordering process for us. Can you please add the PS/2 option to this category?

2) As this is now the U-HID board, could you now consider adding a 4-player harness to the mix? We always used 2 mini-pacs when making a 4-player panel for wiring simplicity rather than the I-Pac4 so it would now be great if this board supports 4 players if we could get a 4-player harness for it - preferably with longer wires - or an option on the order page to adda second, longer-wired 2-player harness to supplement the included 2-player harness.

3) Could this in theory now support the same as the original mini-pac plus two extra players? ie. The original mini-pac could support 2 players+trackball+spinner - can this now support 4 players+trackball+spinner, and are there harnesses available to do this? our average 4-player machine includes all these, so if we could get one small interface with ready-made looms to connect all these controls to it that would be brilliant.

This is now a new board. No longer needs any external capacitors and handles all pot values. Appears to the PC as two game controllers, as did the previous version. Now 12-bit analog resolution.

Is this the U-HID Nano or is there a new A-PAC?  I'm a little confused by the web sites.
