nither of thoes links work for me
i see the specs on the full u-hid but  i am only needing the 8 pin version  so if you could explain the specs and avail inputs on it  as the websit does not really go in depth on the 8 pin version only the full u-hid device

Links work for me.  Are you accessing from work, that has some web limiting policy?  edit: I couldn't reach the site for a short while, but is back up again.

The nano is basically a normal u-hid, except with only 8 input/output pins (+1 a ground pin), vs the u-hid's 50 connection pins.  Each of the 8 nano's pins can be individually assigned to analog joystick, joystickk button, keyboard key, mouse button, mouse axis, LED (output), or +5v (output).

Each analog axis needs one pin, plus a +5v source, which can be either another (shared) pin or an external source.  Each button needs one pin, plus the (shared) ground pin.  So: 2 analog axes pins, + 4 digital pins + 1 +5v pin = 7 pins.  You still have at least one more free pin, and two if you get the power from somewhere else..
