I am not really doing a swappable panel cabinet, but rather I have six separate panels which rotate into place to allow a person to play. Anyway, each panel has it's own Dual Strike USB controller hack which will plug into a USB Hub. However, if I need to remove a panel (for fixing, etc...) I would rather not have to remove the Dual Strike PCB hack with wires.
I believe I have decided to connect the wires from the controls (buttons, joysticks, yoke, etc...) into 25pin IDE printer cables, then have the other end of the printer cable be connected to the wires coming from the Dual Strike PCB. Basically, I would then only need to disconnect the printer cable IDE connector to remove my assembly, but the Dual Strike PCB hack and all wires coming from it (even the USB cable to the hub) can remain connected.
My thoughts were the more I move the Dual Strike PCB around, the better chance it would break or get damaged. I would like to keep all the hacks inside my rotating design "shell" and not worry about them anymore.
