Just in case anyone is following this thread...

Don't use the (~) modifier with most emulators!

The problem I had with my KE72 was forcing a case on the letters in my .cfg file. You can force a letter to be a case by using the (~) modifier, for example: IN02:[(~)A]

For some reason, emulators don't seem to like this! Taking out the (~) makes it work well. Using the repeat modifier, or messing with the repeat rate on my PC, doesn't matter at all.

This also explains why "player 1" worked and "player 2" didn't--"player 1" usually uses the arrow and ctrl/alt/shift keys, which have no case
since they aren't letters, while "player 2" almost always uses some letter keys in the middle of the keyboard, where case seems to matter.

I'd also like to mention that even though the guys at Hagstrom had a hard time trying to understand the problem I was having, they tried and quickly offered a suggestion that turned out to be the solution. Even though their prices are higher than similar products, it's a great product with great support IMHO.
