This might be a cool prop project. He uses a teensy but is missing some features.

Might be useful to $load of folks...

    One of the features lacking by our little chip is the ability to do USB communication, which tends to be vital to it becoming a game controller.

    On one of my projects, I stumbled over a program called AAC Keys (actually developed by an organization very near me.) which accepts seral data, for both keystrokes and mouse information.
    This is how I was able to overcome of the USB limitation. There's no reason why the Propeller couldn't be used in this application, but I do understand why Caleb used a teensy.
