We've heard suggestion such as interrupts and getting a microcontroller for each button. Thanks in advance and I'll be sure to post our results.
Can you give a more detailed explaination of what you are trying to do? Are the five buttons Operator buttons with your joysticks, or are they on the robot? What will these buttons be doing in your code (driving a motor, etc)?
