Which is better - I-pac or KeyWiz keyboard encoder?

Hello,

I am new to the keyboard encoder scene and was wondering which product was better, the I-pac or the Keywiz.  They both seem to have similar features.  I am looking for the most user friendly one and easy to navigate interface.  I will only have (2) 8-way joysticks with 7 buttons each.  It will be running under Windows XP. 

thanks

Both of them are good quality products from very reliable vendors. Both of them will do what you want to do. Both of them are eaqually easy to use and set up. Both of them have flawless support.

So at the end of the day, "you pays your money you takes your choice."

Personally I use Keywiz encoders, because I like them. But that doesn't mean that they're better than the Ipac, but they are a little bit cheaper and for me the Shazaaam shift function works well.

Fozzy pretty well nailed it.

I use the KeyWiz.

KeyWiz has more inputs.  I-Pac supports USB.  I-Pac remembers programming settings and is likely faster to re-program, but I rarely re-program mine.

This is probably a coke vs. pepsi question.   :)

I have an Ipac.  I dig it.  Andy at Ultimarc was SUPER helpful.  The wiring was a breeze, and I have never in my life wired something before my Ipac.  If I can do it, ANYONE can, haha.

I then got an optipac for my trackball, and it was just as easy.

Here's another way to look at it.

What else are you going to order? Both of them offer a few exclusives designs as well as variations on similar products. For instance, if you're going to order the cold cathode lighting then you might as well bundle your purchase with an iPac and Opti-Pac if need be.

Of course, you can order from both  ;D
