Gamepad Encoders offer the functionality of a PC controller (such as a joystick or gamepad) hack in an easy-to-use form. They offer several benefits including ease in connecting controls and time savings.
A-PAC
The A-PAC is an analog/digital interface which emulates two gamepads. It can be used for buttons only, or various combinations of buttons and analog potentiometer (pot) devices. It can be used in any of these configurations::
32 Buttons One analog axis and 30 buttons Two analog axes and 28 buttons Three analog axes and 26 buttons Four analog axes and 24 buttons
Inputs auto-detect whether pots or buttons.are connected. One button on each side of the board is a shift button which enables another set of shifted buttons. This gives a maximum of 62 logical buttons.

GP Wiz
A gamepad encoder that allows conventional digital joysticks and buttons to be hooked up to your PC.
Available in both Eco and MAX models. Both models have exactly the same functionality but the MAX model uses screw terminals for connecting controls, whereas the Eco models feature either solder pads or a no-solder 40 pin header.

GP Wiz49
A gamepad encoder that allows 49-Way joysticks (and more conventional hardware) to be hooked up to your PC.
Available in both Eco and MAX models. Both models have exactly the same functionality but the MAX model uses screw terminals for connecting controls, whereas the Eco models feature either solder pads or a no-solder 40 pin header.
