Very good. 09/07/2024

Works well and was super easy to install. Would be better with a different style of USB connector however.

The best home arcade solution. Still not perfect 08/17/2021

If you are building a home arcade or a homemade game control panel, this is the USB encoder you want. Don't think about it, just get it. It has a lot of inputs, fast response time, and a high quality build.

Wire it up as guided on the Ultimarc site and you're in business with MAME and almost every other emulator. The default setting, which has your buttons emulate a keyboard, is the best for most operation. As long as you stick within the bounds of that, you're set.

I had to knock off a star for the very confusing and explanation-lacking I-PAC software and documentation. The WinIPAC software is hugely confusing, with buttons, panels, and terms that have no explanation or guide in the software itself or on their site. Switching the encoder to controller mode in software is harder than it needs to be and while the silent CMD reprogramming using config files eases the issue a bit, WinIPAC would benefit greatly from a silent daemon that can reprogram depending on currently running game.

Works great! 08/16/2021

Quick turnaround on a tricky to find part - great experience all around!

I've been using Ultimarc parts for over 10 years. Best quality out there. You can buy cheaper, but you can't buy better.
