[quote name=\'comicus\' post=\'252897\' date=\'Dec 20 2010, 07:22 PM\']We initially tried a USB keyboard connected to a laptop... I assigned each player a specific key and just opened Notepad, which worked when we didn't have two or all three players scrambling to ring in at the same time. The response time was delayed, and I can't shake the feeling that something better might be available. I figure if anyone would know, you folks would. Suggestions?[/quote]
Do you have a set of the Buzz! controllers? (Or any other USB game controllers that your PC would recognize.) If so, I think I'd try those with
Joy2Key and see if you can't remove the lag from your keyboard solution. You'd still open NotePad, but you'd have game controllers generating the keypresses, which might be a little more exact.
