| + | ** The [http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=76_80 KeyWiz] line of controllers are very simple, allowing one-to-one mapping of a '''Momentary Contact''' switch to a keypress. It is basically a replacement for your computer keyboard, although the "Max" version allows you to switch between the KeyWiz and a keyboard via an on-board toggle switch. Its strength is its low price compared to other keyboard encoders. Its downside is that to do a CTRL-<key> or ALT-<key> combination requires wiring the switch to two inputs (one for each key held down). | ||
