Idea
The reconfigurable gaming input device would be shipped in kit form, with instructions on how to assemble the device from components. It would most likely be made of a microcontroller (ie PIC) with a USB interface. The microcontroller would support multiple modes of input. The directions would show different ways to configure the buttons/potentiometers to create a game pad, joystick, or other input device.
The physical hardware might consist of household objects. So a stick of wood could become part of a joystick. A book with buttons attached could be the makings of a gamepad.
The idea is to give the user as much flexibility in the creation of the gaming device as possible, while keeping the cost minimal.
