Title: Windows XP & SPEEDKEYS CH?
Post by: Z6 on December 15, 2001, 02:12:00 AM

Does CH SPEEDKEYS work with WINDOWS XP?  Also does the ROCKFIRE USB to Analog convertor work well with CH products?
Is CH working on WINDOWS XP drivers, and a new SPEEDKEYS program?  I get the feeling I may be looking at all new USB gear.
                     GOODHUNTING!

No, SpeedKeys does not work with Win2k and WinXP.  As far as I know, there are no plans from CH to make SpeedKeys compatible as they are trying to slowly phase out their analog gear.

The CH USB gear works with WinXP but the problem here is that the Control Manager program that is used to program the USB CH gear is not compatible with WinXP at the moment.  CH is working on updating Control Manager to make it compatible with WinXP but don't look for it for at least a couple of more months.  

Does the Rockfire USB game port work well with CH analog gear?  You bet your bellybutton it does <G>.  I've been using a Rockfire game port ever since I first tested one when I was still at CH.  Thing works like a champ, I can use my Pro Throttle without any troubles and SpeedKeys still recognizes it.  Only problem is that the Rockfire works with Win98.  You might want to go visit the Rockfire website or contact them to see if they have any updated drivers for WinXP.

It depends on what you have connected.  Since I use a throttle and pedals with my stick, I've got the Rockfire set to Mode #3.
