I've got my player 1 and 2 buttons wired to both the I-PAC and the Opti. Works like a charm. |

I'm on the ledge on the Admin buttons. I can see usages for having dedicated buttons. I was going to have them myself but the cab I just finisned, I only use the default Mini-PAC shift functions plus I configured "shift + button 3" as reset. It kept my CP cleaner. |

I assume you have the T-stick for your 4-way joystick and the 2 competitions are your P1 & P2 8 ways? I would ditch the T-stick and go with a Happ 4-way MsPacman/Galaga reunion stick. This is a better 4-way solution and is closer in feel to the other joysticks on your panel. The T-stick throw is too completely different from the Competitions. I speak from experience because I originally did exactly what you are doing and replaced my T-stick plus with a 4-way reunion stick. SlikStik Tornado already comes with a Ps2/USB combo cable, so it plugs straight into your motherboard, not the Minipac. My preference would be to get the PS2/USB trackball and use the regular Ipac. This would elminate the Optipac and give you screw terminals on your keyboard encoder. You also don't have to worry about a harness to connect the minipac to the trackball. It costs a little more, but gives you the most flexibility. I have all the parts mentioned above (Ipac, minipac, PS2/USB trackball, Tornado Spinner), so these opinions are based actual use. I also agree that I would ditch the 5 buttons dedicated to mouse/trackball. |

markrvp, Thank you for your comments. I was wondering about the Tornado Spinner with its own interface. I was also not sure what was a good 4way joystick and I like that idea. --------------- Here is my lateset solution from all of the advise I have recieved: 2- Happs Competition Joysticks (8-way) 1- Happs 4-way MsPacman/Galaga reunion stick (4 way) 1- Happs 3 |
