Keyboard Encoder Programming ( Similar to Ipac )

screw loyalty.  Show me a quality product for a quality price and im all there.  Thats why i bought the Keywiz.
Nannuu:
I think there is branch missing in the encoder evolution tree.  I have been waiting for a 12 input encoder with no programming/shift/special functions.  I know there is the keyboard hack but honestly I'm too lazy to do it.  And a gamepad hack requires a gameport which the really cheap old computers don't have.  I have a lot of friends with toddlers and they would all like a bartop or a mini for their house but are unwilling to pay what is required to make one (the encoder is the most expensive piece of the cabinet).  If you can make a super stripped encoder for $5-15 I'll order 10 today.  I have been using the Keywiz (which is fantastic btw) but it would be nice to have a lower cost alternative for the small projects.  
Hoagie_one:
yeah, id be interested in a 12 input, cheap encoder as well.
zaphod:
Now I like that idea a lot, Nannuu.  An encoder with a smaller number of inputs would be awesome for the smaller projects.  Price it right (sub $12) and I'd definately be interested.  But I'll be honest and say a new product that mimics the I-pac will not make any sales to me.

What about USB gamepads?  You can get them real cheap and even old P2's (& before) have USB ports.
