as far as keyboard encoders go is does the job and gives you tonnes of inputs but it is not even close to being as easy as the ipac or keywhiz--it took me awhile to get mine configured and it seems to lose the keyboard passthrough on occasion.  but if its cheap--what have you got to lose?  If you don't buy it--I would buy another one--as I'm always looking for cheap keyboard encoders.  let me know if you need specific info--configuration etc.
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

Well, the software is available here: http://www.mk64.com/ron/down.html So you can download it and read about it for yourself.  It's nowhere near rocket science, but it's not the I-PAC and KeyWiz software either.  If you can get around in DOS and can work command-line MAME, it's about at that level.  If you can't do that . . .

Then again, the MK64 saves it's settings, so you could get a friend to set it up for you and you shouldn't need to worry about it after that.

As far as price, I think the last ones sold went for around $55-60 new, so you might be able to base the value on that.
