Thanks for the tip on the 7Bit SUM firmware Dirkies I just applied and tested the 2016 update and it has fixed the key repeats!

Comparing the latest firmwares, the electronica4u adaptor is still markedly quicker in responsiveness. I type over 100wpm and it's so nice to have an Amiga keyboard adaptor that gives instant feedback to input.

Now the electronica4u guys just need to work on improving compatibility.

Wait, does that firmware work on the electronica4u adaptor? it soudns liek we're talking about 2 different adaptors from the link I saw -

This - I do nto have - https://retro.7-bit.pl/?lang=en&go=projekty&name=sum

VS This I do have - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Connect-favo...72.m2749.l2649

These are two completely different adaptors.

The SUM adaptor is a completely separate product to the electronica4u adaptor.

The firmware for each device is specific to that device and should not be used interchangeably.

My apologies for confusing the thread a bit. I just found it interesting how much more responsive the electronica4u adaptor was.

Ah makes sense now. Thanks for clarifying.

I ordered one of these. He has a listing of "Mouse and keyboard set"...does the mouse portion work as well? I'd like to know, as I have a CDTV and only the control pad for a mouse right now. I've already mounted a USB extension in the front panel where the flash card slot would be, so that there is only plastic between the receiver and the keyboard, instead of all that metal.

For this device - no. Only the keyboard will work. The Keyboard I use is a mouse and keyboard set but I have a seperate USB mouse and adaptor for that because the one with the set is usable with this adaptor.
