Sounds good but try this: I have a video editor controller called "ShuttlePRO Contour" (http://www.contourdesign.com/shuttlepro/) that has 13 programmable buttons and two jog wheels. Who needs a keyboard? 
Whoa whoa whoa....
First I don't want to take credit for anything here.... the drivers I found online, and someone else wrote. Just google XBCD xbox game controller drivers, you'll find them there.
As for wiring the controller, the xbox controller is already a USB controller. Microsoft just put some proprietary connector on it, I guess, because they're greedy and want more money. All you have to do is cut and splice. There's prolly even a tutorial online if you want to google that too, but it's splicing color to color so its super easy (uber easy, even).
Once you have the controller wired and drivers installed, I got a second program which allows you to map the buttons to any key, mouse, cycle of keys, or sequence of keys, that you can think up. It's called Pinnacle Game Profiler. Whoever wrote that prog.... good job!
I suppose you could wire it up and write the drivers yourself, but then you have to mess with the clock signal and blah blah blah.... someone already did it.
How I set it up is that the right joystick on the controller is the mouse, the black button is alt (which allows you to access any menu item using the D-pad), then there are buttons for double click, right click, etc...
It's not that cool... just kinda neat.
Oh and as for the undying respect of the regulars, you can wait. Once you're dying then give it up.
By then I should have something worthy of respect.... like the laser system I'm building.

(Best part of all this... if you play Battlefield 2, you can use the xbox controller for it.)

I forgot...
When I get the original nintendo controller working (probably by July) I'll upload pictures of that... that'll be cool.
Just get the new Wii controller to work like this and you'll be able to program LV in a really cool manner.
Hey, combine it with you lasers and you can even have a light saber. 
I still wouldn't mind seeing some pictures and hearing some more explanations about your actual usage (the questions in my last post).
