I've emailed and tried to call both of the above companies with no reply/luck.
I've found nothing else. Somebody needs to get a case of these and drop them on eBay. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Most of us would probably pay upwards of $100 with shipping to be able to talk to our fellow crackheads in game.
As making a regular computer keyboard or dreamcast keyboard work with the GameCube, no one on this board has seemed willing to try. I know I'm not willing to risk my bro's GameCube.
Good luck to everyone. If you find anything out, just let me know.
