Big deal just another PC programmable gamepad right? Take a look at the PS/2 PC connector and face buttons. There is a PC keyboard encoder inside, the keys default to the PC Keyboard. This means ALL Keyboard controlled games in DOS, LINUX and WINDOWS works without any drivers! With a simple USB PS/2 adaptor MAC Keyboard games also work. There is a pass thru for the regular PS/2 Keyboard. I was pumped to get this only to be disapointed that it does not work.
OH CRAP and DOUBLE CRAP!
A dead pad that has great compatible potential. Taking it apart reveals nothing, I'll have to break out an OHM meter and see if the connector wire is broke somewhere. The passthru connector does work fine with a spare keyboard, one could actually daisy chain multiple PowerRamp Mite Game pads. In honesty I really don't need this since I already modded a couple of Gamepads and Arcade stick to work off PS/2 connected keyboard encoders.
The PoweRamp Mite is worth fixing though, all the programmable features and 100 percent PC keyboard compatibility. I didn't even know a keyboard ready controller existed, the pad buttons already default to Mame.
I found the important pages of the manual!

Love how Veteran Thrift Stores use Red China markers or pricing items. Very easy to clean off.
