New customized GP-Wiz40 with 2.54mm headers for easily plugging button/joystick wire leads.

USB port has been replaced with low profile JST connectors, one for power (5v) and one for Data signal.

Two custom USB cables are included to connect the board, a short cable about 6” and a long cable, about 3ft.

Stand-offs have been installed to protect the bottom of the board when it’s fastened to a control panel/deck.

The lightning-fast GP-Wiz40 USB compatible controls interface with integrated Roto-X Technology! The GP-Wiz40 includes the most advanced rotary joystick implementation available. Costly specialized interfaces with limited capabilities are no longer required to use mechanical rotary joysticks, thanks to GroovyGameGear's exclusive Roto-X Technology.

Features:

  • Super-Fast USB compatible Gamepad functionality. Reports the status of ALL 40 inputs up to 125 times a second!!! Much faster than standard USB Keyboard technology.
  • No limitation on the number of simultaneous button presses and each input has equal priority.
  • Plug and Play HID compatible device. Tested with 98SE, Win2K/XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS and Linux. Will also most likely work with other systems that comply with the the HID specification.
  • Completely bus powered.
  • Common GROUND wiring method. If you see a device with more claimed outputs than it has pins on the chip, it probably uses a messy matrix approach, which can cause ghosting and requires specially paired wiring. The GP-Wiz requires only one input wire and a single shared common ground line to any switch, for super simple wiring and troubleshooting.
  • Small footprint. 1.55" x 4.65" board fits just about anywhere.
Roto-X Specific Features
  • Dual, Independent Rotary control support. The Roto-X compatible inputs operate as standard button / joystick inputs until activated by the user. This allows for toggle switches and other "normally active" controls to be used on any of the Roto-X capable inputs without issue.
  • User tunable pulse output. Match the Roto-X pulse timings to the application for best performance. This is a purely optional feature, as the default hardware timings have been meticulously tested with the most common applications to insure compatibility "out of the box".
  • Unique Dual-mode Selectabiliy. Standard CW / CCW and exclusive "8-Way" mode. Finally, games with "Front Line-type" controls can be played with a standard rotary joystick!
  • Compatible with any rotary switch with pin quantities in multiples of 3 + Ground. (3, 6, 9, 12, etc.)
  • Fully Buffered. Each rotary has it's own dedicated 20 action circular buffer.
  • Easy to use Software. May be used interactively (as shown below) or silently via the command line.
