The KeyWiz Max or KeyWiz Eco 2 is an alternative to the Ipac2.

It is a keyboard encoder.  If you have the money, go for the Max version as it makes hookup a lot easier.

In addition to the encoder and controls you will need stranded wire that is between 18-22 guage.  This size wire works well with crimping Quick Disconnects (which you also need) which slip onto the microswitches on your buttons and joysticks.

A good place for wire and quick disconnects is a user here (also a global moderator) named Peale.  Here is the link:  http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,15482.0.html

As for step by step, please read the information on the following link and all of the information in the links it provides for support:  http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_wiring.shtml#Wiring

Welcome to the hobby.  Please also use the search feature for beginning questions as they have been covered numerous times and you will find a wealth of information that way.

but the site doesnt say how many the keywiz supports. how many does it support? also it isnt numbered or lettered like the I-PAC, how do i know what wires go to what hole?

joshbr7257:
also, i need to know exactly what to buy, how much wire, how many connectors, what type of connectors, and then how to hook them up.

My wife and I went with the I-Pac, simply because of Ultimarc's "labels" on the side.
