[Make Arcade Controller from PC Keyboard]

actually the signal sent by the keyboard keys is continuous. The software is the one that repeats a letter when a key is pressed for a long period of time

If I understood well I could assign each encoder to 2 different keys and then decode the change of the keys using software, am I right?

The best would make it using some piece of hardware to make it faster.. any ideas?

Hmm forget it.. with many enconders, many keys would stay on at same time for long periods of time lefting no room for other buttons, it had to be done using hardware..

Is it possible to implement the rotary enconders with the C64 keyboard?

If I want to implement rotary encoders without the keyboard what would I need? How would they work with traktor for instance?

It would be nice.. but no chance to get one of those..

So do you know some rotary enconder or some simple way to achieve that?

Hi, I was searching for a cheap solution to build a midi controller and I tried to open a pc keyboard to understand how it works.

It seems that is easy to make the arcade buttons work using the controller of the keyboard, and since traktor allows mapping keyboard keys to everything we are good.

Now I have 2 questions for you:

1 - Are you aware of any latency problems with pc keyboard? Witch have least latency, pc keyboard or midi?

2 - I would like to put some endless dented knobs in the controller too. Do you know how they work? May be possible to assign the turning of the knob in one direction to a key and the other direction to other key?

Thank you
