How about this then, a unit that does not use a matrix is made just for mame (includes shortcuts using P1 start and other buttons as standard) and operates faster than the ke72 - take a look at

: Keyboard Encoders have to scan each input as quickly as possible. The KE72 does this about as fast as others BUT you can program up to a 35 character macro into one key press (or multiple) So that's what I did, I created a 35 character message... Then I used my uncanny tallent (Years of galga) to tap the button as quickly as possible, and I could not keep up with the encoder! The LP24 never did this, and some keypresses were delayed (Altho very subtle)

: : : I started my preliminary wiring on my KE72, and I hooked a few buttons up to it. And damn! I've previously used a LP24 and the KE72 has to be at least 15% faster... And programming it is a piece of cake. Hats off to hagstrom electronics.
