New Encoder on the block!

<< < (4/10) > >>

but 28 inputs isnt enought for a 4 player control panel... unless you play with buttons... 4x (4(joy)+4(buttons)) = 4*8 = 32...  So without internal controls...  Would have been nice for a few others..

....I'm pretty sure (OK I'm 100%) sure that these can be daisychained. POOF....4 player inputs.  ;D

daisey chained.....2 encoders + adapter = Darn expensive.

Pretty cool, for those people that are planning on a cab for console game / pc at the same time :)

they used to be sold before.  tiger-heli has them on his encoder comparison page.  from what I understand, the card is the exact same thing as the one used in the retail controllers.  this means that you get the exact same, somewhat buggy, capabilities.  they all use that serial interface, so if you wanted to have multiple adapters connected, you would probably need a db-9 splitter or switch.  daisy chaining is somewhat sketchy -- there have been a couple posts recently about keyboard pass-thru issues so i would go with seperate connections, ie usb and ps/2.  i personally think the required adapters make this one somewhat cost prohibitive for 28 inputs..
