Which version and how much you want for it?

It's the KeyWiz Standard.  I'm still tossing the idea around.  If I do decide to sell, I'll post in the FS forum.

I voted OTHER -- combination keyboard hack with my own gameport mod.

The gameport mod I made using 8 resistors and 4 microchip relays. No drivers required, it is the default 2-joystick configuration in Windows, which is two 8-way joysticks plus 2 buttons each joystick. I use the keyboard hack to round out the other 4 buttons each per player, and other misc buttons like P1, P2, etc. Total cost <$10, mostly for the relays.

I'll post a pic from my cab once I get them ready, it works great and you don't have to worry about any ghosting issues from the keyboard hack. it DID take awhile to get working though!  ;D

IPAC4. Great support, enough inputs, saves the custom config files, no problems with linux.

Keyboard hack.  At the time, I was trying to do the cabinet as cheap as possible, and I had an old keyboard with a 2" trackball, so I hacked both the KB and trackball.  The keyboard, however, was an older style with actual switches rather than a small encoder board attached to a membrane, so I was soldering to the backs of the switches on the motherboard.  I cut a hole in the keyboard case to run the wires out of and stuck the whole keyboard in my cabinet... it became both my encoder and my maintenance keyboard.  :)  My more recent keyboard hack is more standard, and I use a USB keyboard for maintenance.

I'm thinking of building a cocktail cabinet now; if I do, I'll move the KB hack to it and put an IPac in the main cabinet.
