KeyWiz Max v1.5
| | Posted On
Why I chose the Keywiz Max v1.5
- 32 direct input lines. No Matrix means No Blocking, No Phantom Keys and no variable delays. All inputs are given equal priority and speed.
- 12mhz Processor. Fast RISC based microcontroller. The proprietary KeyWiz firmware is coded in 100% pure Machine Language for blinding speed!
- Custom, State-Based De-bounce Code. Keys are sent the moment the inputs have stabilized. No time delays!
- The Shazaaam! Key. Like the shift key on a keyboard, the Shazaaam! Key lets 24 of your buttons have an alternate key assignment. The Shazaaam! Key does not take away an input, so all 32 inputs are always available for use. Another unique Shazaaam! feature is that, with an additional low-cost adapter, any switch can be modified to send a code from the alternate set with a single button press! This means you can have up to 24 additional switches for secondary functions, and still have all 32 inputs available for primary controls.
- Fully Programmable. All 32 normal and 24 Shazaaam! key definitions can be configured through the custom codeset to suit your application.
- Jumperless Operation. The Custom codeset can be uploaded at any time, with no re-configuration of the hardware required.
- On-The-Fly Codeset Switching. Just hold down the Shazaaam! Key and move control stick 1 left or right to seamlessly toggle between the default MAME compatible keycode assignments and the custom keycode set.
- Whopping 72 Character Circular Buffer. Gives KeyWiz the highest reliability and maximum throughput capabilities without "stuck" or "missed" keys. Also allows KeyWiz to pass the grueling "Single Button Test."
- MAMETM Ready Right-Out-Of-The-Box. By popular demand, the KeyWiz firmware-default codeset has been made compatible with MAME defaults and includes other useful regular and Shazaaam! Key definitions (Custom firmware-default keycode definitions can be supplied for specialized applications. Contact us for more information).
- Fully Interrupt Driven. The key processing begins the instant activity is sensed on ANY input.
- Full-featured Custom Codeset Management Software. Completely mouse/trackball driven. One-click selection of any of 15 user definable codesets (32 normal and 24 Shazaaam! codes per). Codeset to be active after programming is user-selectable. Each KeyWiz codeset can have an application associated with it for automatic launching after programming.Command line options for autoprogramming / batch file operation.
