Assuming I use a PC equiped with USB, I don't understand whether Hagstrom keyboard encoders

http://www.hagstromelectronics.com/modules.html

would serve the same purpose as USB game control interfaces (UGCI) made by Happs (page 162 of their 1999-2000 catalog)

http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/joysticks/950800xx.htm

when wiring up controls for MAME cabinets.

Would I ever need both? Know of any pros and cons between UGCI and
keyboard encoders?
