I totally agree. The $100.00 for the KE-24 was entirely worth it. I have hacked two programmable Gravis game pads and one keyboard, all of which worked fairly well, but had some problems. The KE-24 is much better and problem free.
: If you can afford the extra $100 for the keyboard encoder, do it. IMHO, it's better from a gameplay standpoint (ghosting/multiple key presses). Plus, it saved me time.

: : My head is going around and around at all the information that is out there to wire up a arcade machine! My question is does a keyboard hack using the PC2JAMMA project circuit boards stop key blocking and other keyboard faults? Or should I go for a matrix system as Mr Salty's web site uses (Mate great info site)
