Just bought 2 x Qanba q4 RAF sticks...looking for cab ideas? if you bored :)
Bonoscot:
As long as there USB spinners,they will do....However,i want to add a few more button,maybe 6,if im using both sticks,how would i add another six buttons to my cab? Would i need to buy an Ipac? or is there another way?

The trackball will show up as a mouse and will include a harness for the 3 mouse buttons.
If you can whittle it down to only needing 3 extra buttons, you could get by with that.
For more than that, you'd have to add a keyboard or gamepad encoder, or hack a cheap gamepad by soldering wires to the PCB of it.

They both come with a USB encoder.

This is a perfect place for an AVR Encoder or the soon-to-be-released KADE.
If one of the maps on the AVR encoder page above has the admin buttons you want -- I assume that is what you are wanting to add here -- you can:
1.) Go the budget route and program an AVR yourself and solder on 7 wires (6 inputs + ground) like Degenatrons did here.
2.) Get one from Degenatrons (PM him for details) that's already programmed and has labelled screw terminals.
You can upgrade the firmware from AVR Encoder to KADE when it releases in several weeks.
3. Wait for the KADE to release and order one. (More expensive, but it is easier to mount)

There are different places like this where you can buy the basic Minimus AVR if you are decent at soldering. (Disclaimer: I haven't done business with MrModchips.)
If you want the small screw terminals version, PM Degenatrons. He should still have some left.
