Those are custom made button panels that use joystick cards to add 32 buttons. I use a hard stock label overlay system to quickly switch between games and now use Joystick Gremlin to map all the buttons to what ever keys I want for that game (the profile is auto loaded when game is running).

Nice, just make sure that you are playing the game on medium, easy is sometimes bugged (a couple of missions near the end are harder on easy than on medium) and hard is often pure bollocks since it makes your allies dumb as rocks to the point they sometimes kamikaze into stations (cue ten Tie Advanced gangin up on you since you are the last one left standing) and capital ships or are completely incapable of using ion cannons (particularly frustrating in a capture operation where you are to fly support to Y-wings in a ship without ion cannons).
