The KeyWiz Standard is still less expensive than the I-Pac and has screw terminals. --- End quote --- Yeah I know, and good point... I was just trying to illustrate the bottom price you could achieve if you were handy with a soldering iron (the econo version of key wiz) If you compare the standard key wiz on sticker price to the ipac/2 ps/2 it's only $5.05 more for the ipac (before shipping) *shrug* I don't even know what my point is (besides being contentious..) I know the middle tier key wiz doesn't need soldering it's the one in my cabinet... but thanks for clarifying for hoagster. who pissered in my wheaties this morning? :-\ Rampy BTW good comparison Tiger-Heli... FWIW a key wiz has 32 inputs where as the ipac/2 has 28 (and the ipac/4 has 56 but that's a tangerine compared to the apples and oranges we are currently comparing) |

But I don't know what my point is here either . . . --- Quote ---BTW good comparison Tiger-Heli... FWIW a key wiz has 32 inputs where as the ipac/2 has 28 --- End quote --- Thanks. That actually ended up being the deciding factor for me. It's only four more inputs, but with some clever tricks (both in the hardware and in MAME), the KeyWiz can handle four player 3-button games quite nicely, while the I-PAC cannot. |

Just to screw with hoagie some more... what about the mk64 encoder? It would be good if you ever planned on using mechanical rotary sticks i.e. ikari warriors sticks =P rampy |
