Where are your USB ports in your cabinet?

You could use something a multi function drive bay device for a computer and just figure out a way to mount it cleanly somewhere. www.Frozencpu.com has tons of different ones to choose from

Two of these on the front of the control panel:

They are simple to install since you only need to drill a hole.  No cutting/routing out square pieces.

I bought something similar and didn't use it.  Instead I just hooked up a keyboard via usb and keep it inside the cabinet, accessible by opening the coin door and pulling it out.  I don't use any controllers that would require USB.

i took the double front usb ports from the case the pooter came in,
then i took a spare happ push button, removed the button bit, and dremeled the usb ports square plastic surround till it was round, and sat inside the button housing,

then i just mounted the button/usb port on the side of the cab, of course for a 4 port jobbie you'd need 2 buttons,

That is also what I did.  Along with my NES, SNES, N64 and GC ports.  I haven't gotten any further on my cab since I took this picture, but you get the idea.  I wanted nice clean flush mounted ports.  When I epoxy them in, I'll use some filler around the front of the ports before I paint it to give it a nice, seamless look.
