Cheapest Keyboard Encoder

<< < (7/8) > >>

McHale:
Any reason you want a keyboard encoder instead of a USB joystick encoder?  I'd never go keyboard encoder again. 

2 Joysticks, 22 buttons - $25.00

michelevit:
you can purchase that inexpensive joystick controller and use joy2key or xpadder programs to translate them into key presses, mouse movements or even macros. easily remapable too as opposed to a keyboard encoder.

i built several cabs with keyboard hacks - there is always that route. keyboards are practically free...

yotsuya:
Again, like Cory said, sometimes you just need a keyboard for everything to play nicer.

Unstupid:

Only wish the minimus was 22 inputs...I can make due with that. But 21?! You are just messing with me now :(


Well the minimus(kade) encoder does have a shift key so that you can assign different functions to each button when the shift is enabled

Nevermind...  It has been covered!

CoryBee:
Like I said I have been using gamepads for a while now and when I get the ecowiz it is always the gamepad version. Keyboard encoder seems to be the easiest route. Configuring exit in games through mala is not possible when using joytokey for keyboard inputs. Like Yotusula said, everything plays nicer and there is less things to go wrong when there is nothing in between the encoder and the system. I really haven't had any issues with my gamepad hacks, but now that I have been building in a higher volume I am attempting to streamline it. Making sure that everything is solid and reducing time it takes to setup the programs is essential.

Thanks for all the input fellas.
