I'm trying to build the same thing, but using 10 bit resolution (0 to 1023 steps). I tried messing with the code but with no success. Do you have any tips? Thanks a lot for the code!

It's gonna have 8 buttons only (i.e 4 directional,1 select, 1 start, and 2 action buttons) I'm also looking to throw in an LED that lights up when the pad is connected to the host system. Are there any warnings on the physical design of the pad? Also, do I need the external oscillator? Hi Starlino. I’m building the gamepad using the 4550.

You don't need to do anything on PC, once you load the mouse firmware on device it will be detected as a standard HID mouse, no special drivers required.

Is there any way you could include LCD code in it? I've been trying to do something similar on AVR with C code, the ADC of the microcontroller is responding to accelerometer inputs but there is no mouse movement.
