Think of it as a trainer for folks that
could learn to appreaciate some real arcade
controls! I got a PowerRamp to try out, thinking
it could at least be gutted and rewired to some
real controls -- and it can. The interface is
great, simple to use, and very effective. It
even includes the key board pass thru, so you
don't need a splitter (also essential, since the
main keyboard can reprogram the PR buttons on the
fly).
But -- for $28 (incl. shipping), it is a great
standalone item that is much better than a keyboard
or gamepad, and I'm ordering at least a couple
of more to give as gifts to some friends.

: Although those look like 'real' arcade controls. They are not. For one thing I dont care how big a company is they would not be able to sell that cheap if they were. They wont feel like arcade controls and the thing is also to small. The price is great and it is programmable but that is the only thing. But if you use arcade controls then use the PRM you will see the difference. I only mention this cause many people will see the controls and think that they are the real thing. If you got the extra cash you would be much better off to step up to the HotRod and if you got even more extra cash then a custom setup from Arcade Solutions.
