HAD, as in I used to have it, but I got rid of it.
You can just reprogram it to do exactly that.

Are you sure you didn't do something silly like make the joystick left the shift button? The shift button behaves this way by design.

I double checked and left is set to "G" and the shifted function is set to "T". I opened notepad and when I move the joystick to the left it doesn't do anything but when I release it (so it goes back to center and breaks the circuit) it "types" "G" but only when the circuit is closed and then broken. In a game if you hold to the left it doesn't do anything unless you go left -> center -> left -> center etc then you will stutter across the screen. Changing the player 2 coin in button to the "G" key and wiring it to left microswitch then it works the way it is supposed to. The 2nd player "Left" button would still work as a coin in being that you don't even hold down a coin in button just tap it.
