I know this is a topic that gets repeated every few years but everyone’s solution required hacking an old MS sidewinders dual-strike such as this post: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,5706.msg38671.html#msg38671
It is the most thorough write-up and I’ll go this route if necessary, but I was curious if a more modern solution has been done by someone using Ultimarc’s U-HID interface? If not would anyone else think that it could work with some trial/error wiring?

It's a spring-loaded analog joystick.
You can use any analog encoder (https://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/Analog_Encoders) like the U-HID, U-HID Nano, A-Pac, or an Arduino. (32u4 or newer since older 32u2's don't have analog inputs)
The Arduino option involves loading an analog gamepad firmware like KADE miniArcade 2.0 (https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,154126.0.html).

Thank you Scott, I appreciate the quick confirmation. I will try the U-HID Nano.
