The GP-Wiz received a little overhaul recently. Costs on the parts are starting to go up, but I'm doing my best to ease the sting a bit by including some extra functionality.
The GP-Wiz40 has 40 dedicated inputs, 8 more than the previous model, which should make for a much more comfortable "budget" 4 player panel, and obviously all the digital inputs one could ever need for a 2 player panel. It also includes GroovyGameGear's Roto-X™ Technology as a standard feature. The AutoSensing code that is present on the RX version has been removed in this version so that the Roto-X feature stays completely dormant unless the user decides to add a rotary stick at a later time and configures his/her system to activate it. The AutoSensing GP-WizRX40 version will be available at the same price, with the same extra 8 inputs, so you'll want to wait a couple of days for that one to post if you are interfacing rotary sticks at purchase time.
This is the layout and how the OS will report the inputs;
