New encoder on ebay
RayB:
Looks like it would suck for Chad or anyone else who can't solder.
Tahnok:
He came back yesterday. He says that there are no ghosting problems, it's not a matrix. He said though that the USB Keyboard HID report limitations apply when reporting keys, and referred my to usb.org. Any idea exactly what this means? I can't put any money towards this right now though.

It means that if you hacked a USB keyboard, generally considered a big no-no, you'd get the same thing.
6 keys at a time plus modifiers.

Tahnok:
Ah, thank you Randy. How does this compare to other encoders (such as yours, Randy). I'm assuming this isn't a problem that most encoders have (sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with encoders).

Compared to Randy's -
E-bay Linked encoder - 6 keys, plus Ctrl, Alt, or Shift
KeyWiz - 32 keys (which could be Ctrl, Alt, or Shift, or anything else), plus 24 "Shazaaam!"-ed keys which can be used for admin functions.
I-PAC/2 - (www.ultimarc.com) 28 inputs plus 27 "Shifted" keys for admin functions
I-PAC/4 - 56 inputs plus 2 banks of 27 "Shifted" keys for admin functions
