Response Boxes

[Ben Robinson]

we often use a gravis gamepad pro as a response box.  it looks just like a playstation controller, it costs on the order of $20 (it's cheap), and it's durable.  the buttons can all be set to mimic any button on the keyboard, or be turned off.

we also sometimes use a controller by cedrus, though it looks like they're no longer selling the exact model we use...

We've had continuing problems with the microphones and PST response boxes.
We've adjusted the mic sensitivity both with software and on the box itself
and have been testing them with their utilities software and they still
either trip when there's no sound (and the microphone isn't plugged in) or
don't trip no matter how loud the sound is. Upon E-Prime's advice, we
eventually sent back ours, received 2 ones, neither one of which works and
E-Prime is sending us two more. 
Has anybody else been having problems with the voice key and the microphone?
And does anybody know if  there any other companies that make response boxes
which are compatible with E-Prime? 
 
Thanks very much,
