Worse as far as I'm concerned. I guess it's all prewired with quickconnects, but the iPac is more adaptable. Excellent support, software configuration, and the community has embraced the iPac.

iPac gets my vote. There are others, too like the keywiz, hagstrom encoder and more, that look better than this box as well.

Looks like far fewer inputs than the others, too.
What was that again?

And expensive...the single player six button setup goes for 55 Euro's or $43.40 + shipping. that's pretty steep for a one player setup as far as I'm concerned. Their top of the line "deluxe edition 2 players per player 10 buttons" goes for $87.60 + shipping...too rich for my blood.

Actually ... 55 Euros is more like $70.40 ...  ;D

yeah another vote for the ipac here, if you have any kind of problems Andy is always extremely helpful and their prices are very reasonable for a well known product.

I just ordered my Ipac, it should be coming soon! =)

Looks like a one off to me, I'd stick with the guys that are manufacturing them in more numbers. Like the keywiz and ipac. You have no idea whats inside that box, the guy could be hacking keyboard pcb's for all you know.
