The Gizmo Daemon would probably be fine. The easiest way to adapt it would probably be to hook up the SW1 and SW2 lines to the guts of a compatible joystick. Basically, one would connect in place of the potentiometer for each of the two axis.

Wow... I never thought of that. So basically any joystick with potentiometers should work, right? And I guess I could hook up some buttons the same way?

This may be in my future.

Yes. I didn't look through the source code, but the description mentions being able to scroll using a joystick. You may have to modify the code to look for specific "ranges" of the joystick and map them to a function, but it's definitely doable.
