Which keyboard encoder do you guys think is best?
needlesmcgirk:
Hello,
I've ordered all my controls (Happ) and am about to begin on the construction of my control panel and cabinet. I am curious which keyboard encoder is regarded as "the best." I am looking at the Hagstrom Electronics KE72 and the Ultimarc I-PAC 4 Interface.
For your reference, it will be a 4 player control panel. Pretty plain, just 4 joysticks and about 30 buttons. Thank you very much!
DaveMMR:
For just 4 joysticks and buttons? I would go with the Ultimarc, just based on price alone ($65 vs. the $120 for the Hagstrom). I haven't really seen any complaints about it, so I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

When building my 4 player panel I went for the IPAC4 and had zero problems with it.
Insanely easy to hook up, software was a breeze, keyboard pass thru worked a charm. I'd recommend it in a second......... and I just did.

I just bought my ipac 4 for my 4 plyr cp, dont know why im replying, i havent even tested it yet, but i figure for the money diff. you cant go wrong!

I would use the ipac4, I sell these under divemaster127 on the buy/sell thread & these ship from the states
