Which encoder do you use? and the main reason why
<< < (2/11) > >>
MoonDog:
MiniPac without harness
(I voted IPac but it seems like MiniPac should be a different option)

My reason was price and features.  I enjoy wiring and I was already ordering a couple T-Stiks so it was a good fit.  The other big motivator was that it has on-board spinner and trackball support.  Hacking a mouse is pretty easy though so it's not as big a plus as I thought, but the auto switching might come in handy.  I also liked that it has USB and PS/2 support and that the PS/2 pass-through doesn't need a switch, but neither of those features have a whole lot of sway for me.  I have yet to even use the programming feature.

KeyWiz - more inputs than Ipac2, less expensive, and better shift function
DarkKobold:
My own personal encoder -
It is cheap as in (mostly) free, and it does what I want it to.
Pieman2004:
I use the keywiz because the price seemed great for the product. And a lot less shipping for me to pay.

For this cab I went J-PAC (for obvious reasons) with a Mini-PAC for players 3&4.  There's no other JAMMA capable encoder I know of that works as well as a J-PAC.

In my last cab I had an I-PAC2 and went this way because of the reviews I had read and the fact I was also buying sticks and buttons (actually I got the sticks and buttons from Andy because I was getting the I-PAC).
