The stuff is dirt cheap, so if you want to try and get a couple and mess with them as a test, I'll help you out with the code. If I get bored enough over the next week or so, maybe I'll do something myself and let you know what the code looks like.
Well hacking a joystick/gamepad is easy... and there are people that have done it already if you search around.
thanks for your valuable input. I think i'm going to try the ipac controller or the keypad hack first since this is definately in my skillset. I just needed a kick in the pants to get the ideas flowing!
