Doc-:

I run all of my "analog" devices off a single USB hub under the modular control panel.  It allows me to hot swap the analog joystick, trackball, driving wheel,  and spinners on the fly.  I also have my IPAC-2 plugged into it.  (see the link in my signature).

All of my devices are wired with "mouse hacks" where you just take an old USB ball mouse (it must have a ball on the bottom of it - optical mice won't work), remove a few small parts and wire the trackball or spinner up to it.  It requires some minor soldering but very little time/money.  My trackball, spinner and new 360 degree "pole position" arcade wheel are all wired this way.

Do a search for "mouse hack" - there are plenty of links here and also on google.

Cheers!
Doc-
