Has anyone ran a I-PAC through a adapter and into a PC using PC Drivers. I use a PS3 controller on my PC. I was wondering if this would block the keyboard inputs maybe and/or make the I-PAC seen as a game controller and not a keyboard. I know this does not work with my Xarcade. Just curious because of some tricks I could than try out to see if they work. Not practical ones mind you just ways to entertain myself on a weekend or two. Also as I expand my controllers to multiple players I am a little scared I might run out of keys on the keyboard ... I think the first 4 players are ok but if I ever do a 6 player setup It would be nice to have a future proofing method.
Even if in all honestly if i do 6 players most likely two of them will be on a A-PAC well at least 2 or a U-HID its too bad the console adaptors do not work with those cards. That would just solve all my worries.
Thanks all. I think I have emailed Andy enough with multiple concerns I feel I should ask questions here for a while and let him keep up with all the other people that keep him busy.

If you have an I-PAC connected to the PS3 control adaptor, this can be used on a PC and will show up as two game controllers.

awesome solves two problems I had. Switchable dpad to analog stick (well in this case digital stick) for menu navigation and such some games like to use both but for different times in the game. It also would be a hardware keyblocker which might have its uses if I am doing more than playing games at the time I am using the current pc in question.
