| Control Panel Review - Stupid? |

A U360 and an LED-WIZ+GP would give me a total of 24 inputs which is good, but should I be concerned about doing this? I assume it is possible to configure the two to work together but will it be a challenge? I don't mind a challenge, just want to know what I would be getting myself into. |

It shouldn't be a problem. I don't know much about the Led-Wiz+GP but I'm guessing they show up as keyboard inputs and the buttons on the U360 show up as game controller buttons. So you just configure MAME with keyboard and joystick input. It's a highly configurable program so you shouldn't have too many problems. Also, I don't know if you considered swappable panels. This is another solution to compromises and with USB connectivity of many encoders/controllers, it's easier than it used to be. Something to think about. Personally, I did make my panels swappable - however, I made it so one panel (two U360s and a trackball) will play almost all the games (trackball can double as a spinner in a pinch, albeit not as fun). Down the road, I can make specialized panels without much issue. I'm not suggesting you do or not do this - just informing you of another option if you're scrambling for space. ;-) |

Either way you will hook it up with the u360 and it will show as two gamepads or a gamepad and keyboard. They will both work and are easily configured in mame as well as other emulators. |

i have the u360's and the minipac. the mini pac will power your trackball as well as your second controller. just depends on what you want. I since i ordered the 360's from ultimark, it only made sense to order the encoder there too. |
