Two players hitting joystick diagonals and pressing two buttons at the same time = 8 inputs.
BTW, this is the same basic answer that you keep evading, even though some variation on it it is mentioned in most (if not all) of the "X-Arcade encoder limits" threads where I've read your replies. :P
Given how clearly ABACABB (and others) spelled it out for you here, I'm surprised you continue to ignore the limitations of the X-Arcade encoder in USB mode.
As your therapist may have told you, denial isn't just a river in Egypt. :lol

One of my greatest strengths is being consistent. USB X Arcade with a 5-1 and the Xbox 360 adapter hooked up to the PC works around this problem. Also you can rip out the encoder and stick in two KADES instead. You can argue the latter if you wish. :)

You are consistent in your utterly shameless love of the X-Arcade encoder. ;D :lol

This is the kind of info that people need to know in order to make an informed decision.
If you haven't already done so, please consider posting a thread with a detailed step-by-step/links/pics for this work-around so prospective buyers understand the technical details. (What's a "5-1"? etc.)
It can also be a one-stop thread where you answer the concerns and details unique to the X-Arcade encoder, such as each connector having a separate common (isolated ground) from the other connectors -- this info is currently spread across many threads and can be rather hard to find.
If you don't mind putting together a thread like this, I will gladly add a link to it in the X-Arcade encoder wiki entry. :cheers:

One could do that, but it's not about which encoder I prefer or which encoder you prefer -- it's about which encoder meets OP's specs/desires/skills/budget.
I didn't mention KADEs since they aren't wireless and the prototype (maxArcade) that might work with the wireless adapter he posted above is still in early beta testing. ;D

EDIT: Added link in wiki to your mention above of the work-around.
Will update to a better link if you have one, Ark. ;D

I shall as I have time and all the toys ready to go.
I should have wiki access. :cheers:

How many players, how many encoder pins do you need per player, and is a Wiimote a valid interface for your protect?

I want to build a wireless pedestal type control panel for two players. The idea being I have media center PCs in a couple rooms. The pedestal could be moved from room to room and connect to the PC in that room. Due to the PCs being stored remotely away from the actual screen/TV, I need it to be wireless.
