If this is of interest to you, take urebelscum's advice and use the software approach to develop your own solutions.

The KeyWiz is not USB.  And even if it was, HID reports for Keyboards and Gamepads are very different birds.

Out of curiosity, how would I have this output digital up/down/left/right for those PC games that don't use an analog joystick.

I know in mame you can do this.  But there may be PC games that are only expecting the digital input.  Or does the analog input send the digital direction too in the windows HUD?

"Feel", in the context used, is not the MECHANICAL feel of the stick, but rather the OPERATIONAL feel of the stick.
(i.e. does it have dead spots like a software restricted 8-way)

A software restricted 8-way will stop sending data when a diagonal is hit, until you get it back to a cardinal direction--and that FEELS bad while you are playing a game.

If you made the stick ONLY respond to the 2nd level of the cardinal directions, I'm betting the people who tested it would tell you that it FELT like they weren't in control.
Actually, they would probably throw in some choice cuss words, so that you'd know how they REALLY felt about it, but....
