Go to www.groovygamegear.com... they have a REALLY NICE encoder with NO SOLDERING called the KeyWhiz Max AND it is only $34.95. Here's a pic: |

The Optipac and Keywiz are both excellent products neither require soldering. The major difference as I understand them are: 1.) The Keywiz stores custom button configs on your hard drive, the Ipac on the Ipac board. 2.) The Ipac can use a usb port, the Keywiz chose only to use ps2. Wire can be bought at radio shack or any other good electronics store. I recommend 22 gauge stranded.
