LOL! It plugs in via USB. Pretty easy. Also, if you get the wiring harness you can wire up to 8 additional inputs so no need for a keyboard encoder. I sound like a U360 corporate shill, I know. Sounds like you will be OK with the switchable stick though for your purposes - plus you could always swap it out later. :cheers:

Sooooo.... it is either 2x 4/8-way+buttons+harness -OR- a 360 + buttons.
Its fun to have possibilities.
But I think I'll go with the 4/8way switchable for restriction feeling sake, at least on that one; I am aiming for the 80's feel on that one.
BUT... I think the next one will be equipped with 360.
However, I need to ask how we avoid ghosts and blocks if we use a keyboard harness...

I'm not sure if you can, really. Besides. an ipac2 or 4 is pretty reasonable and will save a ton of headaches.
Heck, you might even be able to go with a GPWiz (the one with 16 LED outputs and 16 inputs) depending on how many buttons you'll have.
That's a nice looking cocktail to follow BTW.
Marsupial:
Yeah, that cocktail is very nice - I am not necessarily following all of it, mainly its controls. But, it makes me want to make a nicer cocktail to put in the living room... lol.
I am thinking 8-way + buttons each side won't fit within 16 inputs; but I could think about 4-way + less buttons per players... However, maybe that's the newbie talk, I simply don't see light output as a great feature at this point.
On another note; I have spoken with the wife, who believe we should stick with the smaller PC monitor: its a 14 inch CRT - she thinks we should make a kid-sized cocktail.
Somehow, I didn't think of that.

Remember 8-way stick is only 4 inputs.
