Which encoder do you use? and the main reason why
Hoagie_one:
I went with price as my first mainreadon. The overseas shipping on an ipac was too high for me and i wasnt buying any other items from ultimarc, so I went with a keywiz...which works great BTW.
fatbasta:
IPAC - my only other encoder was a keyboard hack, IPAC is mucho easier than keyboard hack.
Tiger-Heli:
KeyWiz - Main reasons are the 32-inputs (the VE wasn't available when I decided), and the more flexible shift function meant it really supported more like 38-40 inputs. (Of course by the time I build something that could utilize 40-inputs there'll be newer options available). . .
Apollo:
IPAC2, easy to use, great support, most recommended encoder when I started this hobby, good value, I was using ArcadeVGA as well so saved on shipping. I wouldn't use anything else now.
RayB:
JPAC because at the time I thought Ipac and Jpac were the only options. I opted for the J because I am using a JAMMA cabinet and I like the fact that there is a video limiter built in.
