Found a great hackable gamepad for cheap!
unhuman:
$4.99, digital USB, 10 buttons! Very hackable with easy solder points.

I bought 4, but haven't tested to see how many I can connect to the computer at once... Hopefully it'll work!

I bought a bunch of them before too. I got two of them as low as $1.99.
I'll tell you, they are only good for hacking cause the buttons and housing suck on them. They use generic HID drivers so it works fine. The only thing is that there are multiple grounds. Unless you are good at mapping out the PCB then most guys will run both wires to each of the buttons.
There are rumors that the Saitek 150 USB has a common ground and I'm looking for them.

Before you go hacking those pads up to make your dream panel.
Label each pad with the player number, and then turn your computer on and off a few times and watch as they randomly switch positions each and every time you reboot.
