: Well, that is surprising that two work fine with no issues. I was thinking of getting a Powerramp back when they were about $60 apiece, but I called the company, and a guy in tech support specifically told me that you can't chain, them, that only one can be used with a PC. Furthermore, he told me that you can't use the keyboard at the same time either, so I ruled the Powerramp out. Of course, I'm happy with my HotRod, but it was a lot more expensive, and the keys aren't programmable. However, I guess I would have been pissed if I'd paid $120 and later you could get the same thing for $40. I'd be interested to know if any ghosting issues come up with two sticks, or if you can use the keyboard at the same time.
My friend and I tried to daisy chain it and played some fighting games with it. For some reason some of the keys would stick.
It didn't seem to work well. There was obvious ghosting. I tried it mostly with NeoRageX. Most of the time my character would stick and move to the right.
