| KeyWiz - IPac - Keyboard Hack ... which to choose? |
| (1/6) > >> |

I'm going to be running a single 8-way joystick, and 5 buttons. Nothing fancy. MAME on a WIN 98SE computer. I'm not afraid of small scale soldering (keyboard hack), but for the 30 or so bucks, I'd rather save some frustration. Which encoder do I go for? I-Pac? KeyWiz Eco? KeyWiz Max? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! |

I've bought two GPWiz 49s and one KeyWiz Eco2. If you go 'solderless' then each one is about $23 and worth every penny, IMO |

You simply can't beat the KeyWiz Eco2 in the value for money stakes. Certainly go for the solderless option. It saves a lot of hassle. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

So I guess the solderless Eco will do the trick for me? I don't need to go to the Max? Thanks |

For such a small panel with basic controls you really won't need it. In any case if you want to add a keyboard as well, then you can do it by plugging a USB one into the PC.
