Clean 4 Port NES USB 2.0 HUB on the cheap
This instructable will show you how to make your own very clean looking 4 port usb NES controller.
I know this has been done before, but I'm posting this to show you how I did it because it ended up much cleaner.

Parts Cost = $4 for the USB Hub

Enjoy!

I would have soldered in a USB memory stick, that way you can have a USB hub and memory stick all in one.
