MIDI interface handle
At the end of the 1980s, Singapore’s innovative company launched the Sound Blaster while simultaneously introducing the world’s first gamepad with a MIDI interface, named GamePad. Since then, MIDI interface handles have been widely popularized.
Among them, the 25-pin printer port, the printer port itself does not support the handle, but since a programmer transferred the communication interface of a PS game console to the printer port of the computer, and then wrote the driver, the handle of this type of interface The development is very rapid. Many domestic players have modified their PS game console handles and applied them to the computer, and the effect is also very satisfactory. Later, there were also imitation PS game consoles produced by domestic manufacturers that have changed the interface, and then A driver is included, so that players who don’t have a PS game console or are not willing to modify the original game console can also use the controller on the computer. The biggest advantage of this type of controller is that it is low cost and feels very good. I like TV GAME games. The controller is a good choice for players. But this kind of shortcomings are also obvious. The handle of the printer port interface needs to occupy the printer port of the computer. Therefore, for computer users who originally have a printer, they have to connect the printer when using it. Pull it out, then plug in the handle, and then connect it when you need to use the printer. Frequent plugging and unplugging may damage the print port (I heard that someone burned the print port port for this reason); and the driver is not too Perfect, there are many compatibility issues with the game.
USB port
USB interface handle, USB interface is the most popular computer interface, many computer peripherals, such as mouse, keyboard, mobile hard disk, etc., have adopted the USB interface, its advantages are obvious. Famous game peripheral manufacturers at home and abroad have launched Its USB interface handle. Through the USB interface, the handle can achieve more functions, such as more button definitions, vibration functions, etc. The USB handle is easy to install, takes up low system resources, has rich function definitions, and has strong game compatibility. It is incomparable with the 15-pin game port interface or the 25-pin print port interface handle. Therefore, the USB handle is the first choice for players.
Parallel port handle
This kind of handles are generally produced in small workshops, with poor quality and feel, but at low prices.
