In Reply to: Something to help the keyboard hack masking problem. posted by Tom Wende on January 03, 2002 at 22:43:19:
: Hi, today when I was mapping the matrix on my keyboard and choosing the keys I would use for my machine, I thought of a way that could possibly solve the masking problem in keyboards. The idea is you buy two exactly the same keyboards, hack both of them, and put them on a splitter. That way you can theoreticly double the amount of inputs you can assign without generating a masking problem. An example with the keyboard I hacked is that I can't press the "d" and "c" keys at the same time, but with this, I would be able to. So if anyone has tried this and it works, please tell me.
Yea, I was thinking the exact thing (honestly) I saw that link to build one and I have an abundance of old "clickity click" keyboards and I was gonna give it a shot, I can tell you my results if you or anyone else would like the information.. Not too soon though I havn't had time for my arcade latly ;(
