Either use a Minimus AVR and the KADE firmware or Degenatrons mentioned that if you recompile the KADE source code for ATMega32u4, you can use this chinese board (looks like an inexpensive knockoff of the Sparkfun Pro Micro) since,

In this hobby, one thing I do not miss is pad hacks.  I am damn good at them but will never do another one again. One bad wire pull and it never works right again.  If you are on a tight budget, listen to Scott.

You can find all sorts of cheap USB interfaces on eBay. I think I paid like $10 for the last one I bought - With cables included! Just connect to the buttons and you're ready to hook up the USB.

The USB pad hack I did earlier will be replaced by one of these USB interfaces.
