I have come up with a few new lag switches. I am originally a simulator ride programmer. A few months ago I was approached by a group of gamers and asked if I could design a hands free, timing lag switch. After about a week poking around my shop I came up with 3 different models. The first is a foot pedal, similar to the old portable pedals for early racing games. (This one was taken out of "cruzin' The USA" arcade game. Using the pedal and a dual layer circuit board, and a timing module, the lagger has the option of using a timed lag that is set anywhere from .5 seconds to 3.5 seconds using the set-pot on the panel, or it can be set to "tap mode" which lags as long as the pedal is down.
I came up with 2 other's as well. A pushbutton in a simple control box. It has the same features as the pedal. Both the pedal and pushbutton box simple have 2 ethernet jacks to plug in your cables. L.E.D. indicators light up during lag.
The 3rd switch is fairly new and can only be inset to a wired controller. Modding the control and wiring I have added a extra button between the D-pad and the right anilog stick, just above the heaadset jack. This is a tiny black momentary button, normally closed circuit. An extra dual strand wire is run along with the controller wire to a small box that sits next to your console. This button is only for momentary use, and has no timing feature. It does however allow for easy use. The gamers I have been working with seem to prefer the pushbutton and pedals.
