Wiring push buttons without need of board inputs

This is how you can wire in all your buttons the easy way using just a USB plugged into PC.
I-PAC 2 (32 Inputs plus trackball and spinner connector/PAC-Link expansion)
I-PAC has 32 inputs each with it's own dedicated microprocessor pin. No interaction or delays, vital for multi-button games such as fighting games.
I-PAC is much more than a keyboard encoder! Pins can be configured as mouse buttons or game controller buttons, plus power and volume control.
Multi-mode functionality enables interface to be switched into dual gamepad mode or dual Xinput controller mode.
I-PAC emulates a USB keyboard and yet breaks through the USB simultaneously-pressed-switch limit of 6 switches (plus ctrl,alt,shift) which afflicts all USB keyboard devices. This is beacuse it has inbuilt full native USB support, and does not rely on an add-on adaptor.
I-PAC has a shift function which allows ANY input to be assigned to a shifted secondary keycode and the shift button can have it's own function too so no need for a dedicated extra control panel button.
I-PAC has a self-test LED which not only gives an instant visible check of your installation but also can indicate which connection (if any) is causing a problem.
I-PAC retains it's programming including operation mode after power off. Beware! Not all keyboard encoders do this!
