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.

I'm going to go with a usb keypad and if the other programs are hot keyable then it should be pretty universal. I'm documenting my whole build for the corvette forum because there has been a lot of interest in this project so i will definately do a 'how to' if it works like i plan.

Thanks again
