I-pac2 vs KeyWiz Max 1.5
<< < (3/3)
TeamTEOR:
Nope, totally understand. I wonder now if there is a DPST micro switch that I can use with one of the normal pushbuttons and that would be the iceing on the cake.

BTW, thanks for the help everyone.
Tiger-Heli:
One feature not mentioned - The KeyWiz shift function is independent of the buttons, so all 32 inputs are available for action buttons.  The I-PAC essentially borrows an admin input for the shift funcition.

The Ipac supports keyboard passthrough.

Automatic keyboard passthrough.  The KeyWiz has a keyboard passthrough with a switch to select/deselect the attached keyboard.

--- Quote ---The Ipac retains its settings on power down.

True.

but the VE also does not retain settings on power-down.  (The VE is similar to a KeyWiz in USB only instead of PS/2 only and with LED support, although there are a number of other differences.)

As someone else said the Minipac has an IDE header and can't use the latest software, but you do get half an opti-pac along with the encoder.

Thanks!
