Keyboard Encoders
Lilwolf:
heck, I would consider getting a keywiz eco + ide header and wait and see about other controllers.
analog controller? you get a few extra buttons with one.
keywiz49 + a keywiz eco is a GREAT combo and gives more functionaty.
btw, I have an IPAC4 and their great... but I think its a bit much for most 2 player control panels. And if you have that many... you might consider going to frankinpanel classes :) but with all real frankenpanels you will want a few specialized controllers that might have a specialized encoder that will give you extra connections.

Get a minipac. Player 2 has 8 buttons, player 1 has 6... great buy yet not very popular for some reason....
if you can split an IDE cable... not that hard, just annoying. If not wait till I produce some breakouts :) But seriously I recommend the minipac as a general buy.

8 buttons each
4 admin / coin buttons
so 16 + 16 + 4 = 36
8 buttons is overkill... 7 is really all you need.

Being a math major I might be wrong, but 2 joysticks, as you said, = 8 inputs.
So it's 8 + 16 + 4 = 28
Ipaq has 28 inputs for a reason ;)
I was curious cause it sounds like with that many inputs he could be either planning for console emulation or maybe a dedicated 4way where he can double up on inputs.
