USB Spinner control panel with 7 to 11 buttons. Possible?

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.
