USB input/output Interface

I would like to build a USB input/output interface for a project that I am working on. It needs the following inputs. I want to build about

10+ of these.

9 position selector switch - selects different operating modes

2 position selector switch 6 push buttons A scroll button (encoder) 4 LED outputs

I have a small amount of programming experience, but I have seen a few places warning that USB programming is not easy???

Alternatively, I could buy a something if it has the right fit. Cypress looks like they have something that would work, but I was not too sure how straight forward this would be.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it?

Don,

I am actually looking seriously at the USBmicro product. I have emailed Robert with some questions... I have an encoder which I am not quite sure how to interface to the U421.
