Game Input MultipleXer

hi my second post, been reading as much as i can, i've read what i require for usb pc/ps3 GIMX, im in the UK and teeny aint availble here, and with recorded postage from US will cost me alot, i was looking at Atmega32u4 Breakout Board+ would this be as easy to use as the Teensy (programming etc as im no expert).
Thanks in advance for any help and advice

Did you search "atmega32u4" on ebay?

Im looking for Windows version of Gimx so i started to build my adapter, I searched at DealExtreme, which is my reference for internacional buys (cuz of free world wide ship) and i got this:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s ... -ps3-47609
and
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/wireless-b ... dule-80711 (can be used ? has internal bluetooth)

Anyway i bought mine from the ebay and PJRC store.

ok thanks for replies, got some parts ordered

The teensy on dealextreme is a counterfeit.
It's not a teensy:
- it won't work with the teensy loader
- it only features the at90usb162 chip (the genuine teensy features the atmega32u4 chip)
Nonetheless, it should work with GIMX.

Whoa! I didn't know there was different versions of this thing. :O I ordered this one weeks ago, will it work? http://www.sacros.eu/da/video-games/pla ... rd-for-ps3

It's the same as the dealextreme teensy counterfeit. It should work with GIMX as it features the at90usb162 chip (listed as compatible), but you'll have to use the firmware loader from ATMEL: FLIP.

Again, I don't recommend this device, these guys are making money using the name & reputation of someone else's product. And it's less powerful than the genuine Teensy.

The problem is, I'd gladly order the 'original' product, but I'm not able to without receiving big customs when ordering from US to EU. :\

A teensy 2.0 with Air Mail (not UPS) is only 16+7=23$.
In France there is no customs for such an amount.

But my rip-off version will still function just as well as the 'original'?
