Good news, the Pelican stick is analog, Kev has the Universal model pl-950
http://www.pelicanperformance.com/index2.html
It functions as the left analog stick,I tried it myself on Killzone, could move forward, back, and strafe left and right just like the PS2 left stick. But could not turn or look up and down as that would be a right analog stick function, however, could use the buttons to look up/down and left/right, somewhat unwieldy because one of the button is used for reloading and another for changing weapons. I'm relearning a bit about the difficulties my son has playing games here too, Killzone sucks trying to play this way!
A D-pad and 2 of these may go far towards the solution.

The Interact Pro Mini Arcade Stick functions basically the same, it appears that the Hais stick is very similar to this one.
A bonus is that both of these stick are already arcade style, so trying to adapt the stubby PS2 style analogs won't be necessary.
We have tried most of the available US options so please before throwing money at this project (I have done this for you already, looking for solution for my son Kev, believe it!), contact me and see if we have tried or have on hand the stick/solutions suggested.
I will read the thread daily and will chime in when needed, anything to help.
I have available 1 used Universal PL-950 and also 1 near-mint Pro Mini to donate/send to whoever will be taking on the actual task of building and testing designs for Sean's joystick.
We may also consider the trackball idea for analog #2, it may work just fine.
Or the ps2 keyboards that have analog sticks on both sides.
All we need is someone(s)? with the skills, trustworthiness, time, ability and oh yeah a PS2 to step up and help out. And that's a lot to ask but if any group of people can get it done, I believe we can!
Look at all that has been proposed in less than a week, WOW!
Keep it up, ya'all are the best!
Hang in there Sean, you got a lot of great people here working for you!
Thanks again all, ARCADIAC!

Another shot based on Sean's comments.

With reguards to the last pics: Sean said he used the butt of his palm to hit buttons, also said he wanted his hand in a vertical position. What is you took the above layout, but in stead of the butons being vertical,(when looking down from above), make them horizontal. That way he could have his hand vertical and use the edge if ir to hit individual buttons. Right now with his hand vertical, he would be hitting all of them at once.
Another thing: he said he can hold a joystick with his palm and thumb. What about a flight stick? 3 or so buttons AND a hat switch. The hat could be wired as the digital pad, or just as buttons.
