Xin Mo or Zero Delay Encoders?
Player 3:
Alright, to end the debate going on my shoulders, which would be the better choice: the Zero-Delay encoder or the Xin Mo encoder?
If looking through the specs are correct, both of them connect via USB as a gamepad (Yay, HIDs!)
The plan is to set up the first player with four admin buttons, a coin button, a start button, two gameplay buttons, and a joystick (4/8-way) (8 buttons plus stick). The second player just gets a coin button, start button, two gameplay buttons, and a joystick (4 buttons and a stick).
The Xin Mo can do two joysticks and ten buttons for first player, then twelve buttons for the second player, while the Zero Delay (from what I understand) possibly has one joystick support, PoV hat support for a second joystick, and an option for twelve buttons with enough wires. The Zero Delay gives enough ports (twelve button ports) for my needs since those needs total to twelve buttons and two sticks. Does the Xin Mo have any other special features? Did I get any of this information wrong?

I have two zero delays and they kick ass. Two interfaces plus extra wires is still cheaper than any of the most popular interfaces.
Vigo rocks and ships fast. Plug and play 100%

Cheaper, yes. I guess it's worth the money with a response like that. So I can still plug two joysticks in one ZD interface, right, granted both players' button count is at most twelve?

I see no reason to not get two... but yes theoretically it could work with an extra set of wires.
The only thing prohibitive would be the length of the provided wires, you may have to splice them to make them long enough to reach your buttons.

Then how long are these wires, if you know?
