Play the Game
Not the Keyboard
From Saitek's publicity:
"Simply insert the Command Sheet for your chosen game, and PCDashTM configures itself to send the right commands - at the touch of a finger. No more clumsy keystrokes, no more memorising commands, no more pausing the game while you look up the right response, PCDashTM gives you all the controls you need, all at your fingertips, and all represented by easy to recognise graphics. Revolutionary coding system means each command sheet contains ALL the data needed to configure PCDashTM for the game"
PC Dash fits between your keyboard and the PC to simulate commonly used keystokes for playing games and other applications. The graphic overlay over the membrane switch pad is removable so it can be quickly reconfigured for different applications. On the rear of the overlay is printed a special 5-stripe barcode into which is coded the key sequences for the particular application. A very low cost optical read head is scanned by hand to capture the barcode and it is analysed and decoded by the embedded processor.
