HaRuMaN:
if you absolutely have to have both connected at once, use something like a usb kvm switch...

or just move the usb plugs from PC to 360....

^ What he said.

Wire your controls to that PCB and then connect a USB cable from the the PCB to your PC, 360 or PS3. Simple as that.

You could even use a USB switch to easily switch between consoles etc. I'm not 100% sure a digital switch would work but a manual, physical one would.

A digital switch works fine, have one in my Galaxbox that switches between the 360 and PC (VGA & USB). I got HarumaN to hack up a couple official controllers for me. Works great, with no problems or worries of M$ changing controller protocals to combat the "all-in-one boards" out on the market.

glad to know the kvm switch works.  Which one do you have?

A kvm makes sense since you would want to switch the input to the monitor.

I've successfully used this switch to connect a 360 hacked controller to XBox and PC:

I imagine most 1x2 usb switches would work.
