Easyget Zero Delay Arcade Game USB Encoder PC to Joystick for MAME & Raspberry Pi Retropie Projects SANWA Parts

Didn't really expect much when I first bought this a while ago, but it's a solid PCB for PC controllers and seems to have good response times. Great for tinkering with arcade sticks, leverless, etc.

I am using this on a retropie running Emulation Station mostly NES. I needed to map 4 full size buttons and full size joystick. At first it did not get detected and I was slowly getting frustrated. I then realized that I had retropie earlier detect a NES style USB controller (which did not reliable register keystrokes, so I sent it back). Retropie seems to register and "lock in" the last gamepad/joystick until you force it to learn a new one. Since I did not have that NES USB controller available, I had to plug in a keyboard and navigate to the "Change Input" selection and force it to detect a new controller. I found that the mode button changes the LED from red to green with every push and what this did was change the type of joystick to a Hat design (Green LED). I left it at RED The joystick is more accurate and with the full size controls you feel like you are in an arcade.

I had to purchase different jumpers because I did not measure the terminals on my switches (for HAPP style pop'n music buttons), be sure to do that before purchase. Otherwise product works flawlessly.

I modded a Tatsunoko Vs Capcom fightstick with Sanwa parts and this PCB. It works wonderfully with Street Fighter 5 PC when using X360CE. I've noticed no input delay when playing. One thing to note is that with the TvC fightstick you need to rotate the joystick 180 degrees or else all the motions will be inverted.

Bought to use in a sim racing button box. It works great as all of the buttons are detected. However it will not let my computer monitors sleep. I have an OLED monitor and it should sleep at every possible opportunity. Using this USB would likely result in image burn-in so I will not continue to use it.

Perfect for pc fighting games, easy to put together too! Very self explanitory

Package was good. Had everything I needed and more. Instructions were pretty clear. Only issue I had was that two of the pins were soldered together. Easy enough to fix, but caused an extra little bit of debugging initially. Otherwise pretty good board.

LOVE IT! works with the sanwa joystick.
