Hey gents I am new to the sparkfun forums, I have enough of an electronics knowledge to make me dangerous, but not enough that I still get myself lost pretty easily.
I am in the inital planning stages of building my own flight stick joystick.
something that will be along the lines of this… although im sure not near as nice.

what i am hoping that one of you will be able to point me in the direction of is a breakout board that would take care of the matrixing of the buttons.
Similar to what this guy did but with the at least 8 axis’s available? (~32 buttons and 8 axis’s would be ideal.)

everything that i am seeing for boards that do matrixing are on the output side of things rather than the input.
Leo bodnar has a couple of boards available that too what I am looking for but the price is on the high end. ~$60 before shipping, but the more I look the more it is seeming that will likely be the route to go. (I don’t have the knowledge or design ability to have a custom pcb printed) and would rather not have to use a prototype board to make my own matrix.
