Hi...
Between the Keywiz and IPac, I have difficulties to guess which is the best..when you speak of SOFTWARE:
the more practical and easy...

Thanks for your help ;-)

Both of them have software that programs them. Functionally they are similar. I would say most people don't use this software because in most cases the default key configuration works well. Both applications have a nice GUI interface. Both of them can be run from a command line to program the interface on the fly. One nice feature of the keywiz software is the on screen keyboard, so you can create key configurations without dragging out a keyboard.
My statements are my own opinions. They have the value that the reader gives them. My opinion of my opinion varies between foolish and brilliant and these opinions often change with new information.

I haven't used either - I have a Hagstrom KE72, which probably has the most UNintuitive programming method.  That said though, once it's set, you never really need to use it again.  I guess my point is that I certainly wouldn't let this be a major deciding factor with my choice of encoder (unless you DO see yourself programming and reprogramming it a lot).

I can only tell you about the KeyWiz, but for a newbie it was quite simple for me to set up. I just wish Randy would finish setting up the website :)
