: Following is a copy of a response from Happs (names removed). : Thanks for fully answering my questions in your reply. As you probably already know to : build a controller I need the ability to report mulitple key presses simultaneously ... : although reporting just 2 key presses simultaneously will be sufficient. : I (amongst several others I think) look foward to when (or if) these firmware modifications : are done. If possible, could you please mail me when (or if) these changes are made so I : know when to place an order. : Thanks for your help : Tibor : : Tibor, : Sorry for the late reply. We are going to improve the key mapability of the : UGCI and I was trying to get the correct answers before replying. : See answers below. : At 06:52 AM 9/28/99 -0500, you wrote: : >Hi : > : >I am very interested in building a control panel using the Happs USB : >UCGI (96-0744-30) with the associated Happs joysticks, buttons, and : >trackball.

We are going to try to : have multiple (at least two) buttons reported. This is difficult and I : don't know for sure if that's going to happen, but that's our goal. Might : take a couple of weeks.

The Arkinoid controller could connect as a : trackball, but would operate as the mouse.***** : > : >3.
