The nice thing about the hub is you can use it with swapable CPs

Yes, I figured that using one of my MiniPACs would be over-kill also.

I should have posted a pic before. Nevertheless here it is, so you'll get an idea of what I need. (Just imagine a USB control panel for either Asteroids or Arkanoid).

Thanks.

I think what a lot of us are trying to figure out is,
if you're going to go to a lot of trouble to build a panel,
why leave out the joysticks, which gives you a lot more
playability in terms of games you can play?   ???

But if you're dead set on it...

11  buttons and a spinner?
I'm more or less doing that hack right now on my
racing cab.  (ok, a few less buttons, but mine's not
meant for 2-player)  just uses 1 USB gamepad hack
and 1 ps/2 mouse hack.

To get the layout in my pic above to work I guess I'll need the mouse hack and a sidewinder hack.
