i have an IPAC 2 on a 2 player cab.. trust me, its much easier to just be done with it..

6 buttons per player, p1 start p2 start, and coin buttons..


the ipac isnt to much, its just enough.


i was on a budget too.. but i knew a keyboard would suck.. id rather have my CP work properly than have some special paint or stickers.. you can always get the extras later

As someone who has done over 20 mame cabinets I can tell you for certain that trying to save $30 on an encoder is the single worst mistake you can make. If you can't afford $30 then this is the wrong hobby for you.

i did my cab on a tight budget (300USD) i went over... ended up costing 400..

and im still adding to it.. Marquee, sideart, ect..

you better go with an encoder it'll save alot of time and aggrivation in the end...I just recently tried hacking a keyboard after many hours and frying the cpu of an old pentium 1 I finally said the heck with this and decided it's worth it buying an encoder........
Sasquatch!:
The Competition joystick sounds like it'd fit your bill nicely.  And I'm going to echo the sentiment of everyone here who's saying that you should buy an encoder.  Seriously, it's a step that you don't want to "cheap out" on, especially if you're doing this for the first time.
