Easyget 2 Player Zero Delay Generic Game Controller USB to Joystick for MAME & Raspberry Pi 1/2/3 RetroPie DIY Projects

20 years ago, I used an IDE cable, RJ45 jacks and some networking cabling to wire up my ol homebrew HAPP Controls 4 player cabinet. I remember working in my basement for hours with a soldering iron and a serial cable mapping keyboard controls. I bought two of these kits a couple weeks ago. It took me less than 2 hours to completely replace the hardware with this kit and it is a HUGE upgrade. The KE72 was amazing for its time, but it did have a few hiccups (doing Dalsims teleport in SF2 HF never worked) but the Easy Gadget 2 is INCREDIBLE. Zero Delay really does mean NO Delay and all buttons can be pressed at the same time without a problem. The wiring kit fit my Happ switches perfectly and the picture included in the document made it a breeze to connect. The longest time I took was to add some wire length to some of the leads (about 3) for a couple buttons I had lower in the cabinet. I was unnecessarily concerned if the extra length would impact performance, as all the buttons worked perfectly. As a guy who started with hacking keyboards in the 90s, I wish I could give it 6 stars. Amazing.

Works really well with Retropie/Mame. For the price for two of these I wouldnt even look further. Showed up fast, installed in minutes and Ill probably never had to think about it again.

There seems to be TWO versions of this board... this version has the all important RED +5v out connector for light up buttons!

They both work well, they are easy to setup, and I have had no problems with them yet.

Great encoder works with pc,Mac, and retro pie east setup. Wonderful price for 2 player arcade will but again for future builds.

Really enjoyed it my arcade it is ready to use. did not break a sweet to configure it.

No issues.Decent control for the price.

Product works great and came with ebough jumpers for all the plugs and for the il / suzo happ joysticks. I didnt realize this but it does not come with the Simetisu /Sanwa style 5 pin jumper... My joysticks shipped with a connector for joysitck but just has wires on the other end. No connector. So if you want to connect this kit to a Sanwa or Simetisu joystick you will need to source a jumper as well.

Works

From time-to-time when Im using these, input drops out for a few seconds.
