I used to want a trackball and spinner.  I have a trackball now but never installed a spinner.  There aren't many games I really like to play that use a spinner.

The trackball, on the other hand: Missile Command, Centipede, and Marble Madness.  It's worth it for those 3 games alone.

Though when a large group is over, simple multiplayer trackball games like bowling, horseshoes, etc. go over pretty well.  It doesn't take a real arcade buff to be able to play these games and be competitive.

Well it does make navigation in windoze when working on yoru cab easier/convenient...

Also the ladies like the centipede, man...  ;)

For Mrs. (or miss) Odonadon's sake condsider a t-ball!  (just kidding--> I get where you are coming from... and visually prefer the simplicity of just sticks and buttons on a cabinet... but my desire to have everything, and constant need to tinker/upgrade had me adding trackballs/spinners and soon removable star wars yoke...

No no, that's where Mousekeys (accessibility options) come into play.  I only have a keyboard hooked into my cab :)

Besides, Miss O - or Mizzo as I call her - prefers the Street Fighters and the Aero Fighters.  There's no love of centipede in my house.  And that's just because of the trackball.  Okay, I'm kidding about that :)  Plus, the ladies prefer the joysticks.

 :P

I'll boo myself for that one.

Main advantage is the KeyWiz will support 4-player, 3-button games and the I-PAC will only support 4-player 2-button games.  NOTE:  This covers everything in MAME except about 4 games, mainly Dungeons and Dragons series, which are four player, four button.

Is this really true?  I thought the I-PAC supported up to 8 buttons, even on player 3 and 4?

no, ipac supports 4-p 8 button controls. dunno why you need it, maybe for psx emulation and mahjong, but it does.
