Also an idea to make projects like this cheaper by using USB gamepads instead of a PS/2 or USB device specially made for these projects.
You need to solder a bit, but I bought 6 gamepads for 3 euros each and using 3 of them for my cocktail cabinet project. Cannot get those any cheaper :-)
I got those from http://www.arcadeshop.de
I also ordered my joysticks, buttons and coin mechanism there.
