AC350 Keyboard Encoder?
JDShaffer:
Glad to be part of the discussion. I am going to send Kevin an email later. I think the AC350 works great. I spent a lot of time on it, especially on the rotary code, but I would love to get the input of someone that has experience with so many different encoders. I do think I have more options then most, PS/2 and USB, 16 of the 60 inputs accepting 2 wire switches or 1 wire optical and of course the built-on rotary controller. However I do realize that the unit being non-mappable will be a draw back. (Hope that a little bragging was ok)
But if nothing else, testing has been a blast.
Timoe:
What does he mean by 1 -wire optical?
Like you can hook up your track ball and your mouse?
JDShaffer:
What I meant by that was that besides the 2 wire mechanical switches, the unit also has 16 inputs (enough for 4 joysticks) that will also accept the 1 wire signal that is used by optical joysticks such as the HAPP Perfect 360 that only has 1 wire for each direction, up, down right and left. There are also 4 power headers on the board to supply 5v and ground to the optical joysticks. I hope that clears up what I meant.

Timoe:
Oh, very cool.
KevSteele:
James pointed out this thread to me - I'd certainly be willing to make arrangements for a RetroBlast review, although after the last encoder-testing blunder on my part I suspect I'll have someone else do the actual review. (I haven't had as much time for reviews lately as I'd like, for some reason!)
Like others said here, Tiger-Heli is also a good choice.
It looks like a promising design, and it's great to see new products like this coming out!
