Good luck either way...

And I don't mean to take away from CentraFuse, but maybe you could document your whole experience from a more "modular" approach (read: not built around just CF, but as a solution for everyone). You could use that controller with the software they provide to program it, so that each input represents a button, and you could use any front-end with it... so it might be a good idea to document everything and probably try to get it stickied in the Hardware or Fabrication forums or something, for the next time somebody thinks about doing it but using Frodo or some other front-end.

Incidentally, I see they also have a USB version, which might be better if you don't wanna lose your keyboard -- or if you're not happy with the OSK that the frontend has. It's cool that they also have a Linux/Mac version of the programming utility as well.

Have fun.
