Grab an Arduino Pro Micro off of eBay (around $7) and install the MMJoy2 firmware on it:

This could not come at a better time. I was just looking for a joystick controller. Thanks Gene!

Great Link Gene.  Lots to read I think.

And the price is right LOL

At some point I'm going to have some boards made up that will take a Pro Micro and break it out into screw terminals.  No ETA though.

Thats actually a great idea..  But in the meantime this will work swimmingly.

The boards  are fantastic, many thanks  Gene.
You can get them  at www.OshPark.com

Here's a direct link for those that are interested:

Note that you'll need to get "milspec" turned-pin sockets and turned-pin pins in order to use this.  The reason for this is that a normal "cheap" chip socket has pockets that get crushed when a large pin (like the ones the Pro Micro come with) is inserted.  When using the milspec connectors, you get a much better connection for just a few cents more in cost.
