: I really like this idea, sort of like legos for control panels. I don't think there would be any electrical problems for plugging joysticks or buttons in, but trackballs and spinners might take a bit more thought, but if you interface them through something like the ipac, it might work out ok. I am not sure about not covering the modules, my guess is that if they can be stored securely, they should be ok. Maybe you could make a rack for the side of the cabinet to store the modules.
: My main question is how could you make the modules easily exchangeable, but secure enough for game play. Maybe some sort of "tongue and groove" type arrangement would work.
Actually, I was thinking of Velcro. Don't know how well it would work, though.
