Yep, hotswaps with no problem! I guess you could possibly make one interface and have quick disconnects or a custom din connector to hook up to different panels.
But that's not really a problem for me--I'm building a somewhat more streamlined and self-contained version of a 'flip-over' control panel similar to Xiaou2's project, so all my controls will be connected simultaneously, and I need separate interfaces for each one. It's really not that hard to hack, and swapping USBs is as simple as you can get.
BTW, I've got an old Suncom F15 Talon flight stick I'm hacking in (the kind with the hat AND castle switch which I don't think is made anymore). The pots still work, but the programmable buttons feature has gotten screwed somehow. I'll just do my own wiring for the buttons and interface them through my IPac!
