I am using a Gravis GamePad Pro (10 buttons + 4 on control pad = 14
buttons total). It's real easy to program for keyboard emulation in
windows (includes software), and I use it instead of the keyboard for my
left hand. Only problem is I don't think you can emulate mouse movements
with keyboard commands, so the mouse is still necessary.
