Cut the cable of any old joystick and figure out which wires maps to which pins. Connect the button wires to ground with a switch in between. I actually wired the buttons to a 1/4" TRS jack so I can plug in an old 2 switch amp footswitch. Then hack aseqjoy to send MIDI CCs or notes on button press events (a simple change). Unfortunately I don't think you can map MIDI events to the "Enable" buttons in jack-rack. Feature request... Or send $10 to Kraft and get a "dance pad" [http://www.kraftbrands.com/activegame/] and you've already got 10 footswitches, kind of. More aseqjoy hacking required. I got one of these things and the joystick driver in RH9 handles it just fine. Unfortunately, it's way too big to use effectively.
