Personally I'd rather people make their encoders from keyboards and not buy the IPAC then have people like you calling others idiots on this board. Let me ask you some questions.

Did you buy your control panel pre-made? If not, then why not? Wouldn't it have saved you a lot of time even though it would have cost you more money? Did you buy your cab pre-made? Did you buy everything pre-made or did you *gasp* build stuff on your own? There are plenty of people that would do all the work for you and customize it right down to the smallest detail...for a price.

I'm assuming you yourself made some things yourself even though buying them pre-made would have saved you a lot of money. In case you didn't realize, this site is called BUILD YOUR OWN ARCADE CONTROLS not BUY YOUR OWN ARCADE CONTROLS so if people want to hack their own keyboard then more power to them.

I like to believe that this hobby is open to anyone and not just those that have a large "disposable" income. Believe it or not some people actually have to save money and need to cut corners in order for them to be involved in this hobby. So saving $40 and hacking their own keyboard may in fact be their only option.

I went and bought the IPAC because I think it was worth it. However, if someone wants to hack a keyboard then I'll help them as much as I can.

Be respectful to people and try and be helpful and not use immature name calling because you don't agree with the way someone does something.
