For our main buttons we have used NKK switches and have really liked them. The switches you see used in the red demo box on the
wiki are NKK. They are a bit pricey, but generally much better quality than what you find on sparkfun.
There are a few other good suggestions for inputs/outputs including specific part numbers on the wiki as well. If your team hasn't used their digikey voucher yet, this could be a good option. Just make sure you place an order soon, since the
digikey voucher expires on Saturday.

The firmware you load on the TI LaunchPad makes it a HID joystick, so no drivers needed. You flash the LaunchPad once and it'll work with any driver station laptop.
