Does anybody know how to program Logitech Rumblepad 2? I am OK with 12 keys and left-joystick port. However, I have no clue what to do with the right-joystick. Vibration is not my concern now. It seems B3D doesn't support that kind of gamepad.

If its the same as a PS2 pad (with analog sticks), look at some of the other JoyU/V/Yaw/Pitch/Roll() commands. I know that some of them are used to read the right analog stick but I haven't used Blitz3D for ages and don't have a PS2 pad any more, so can't test. :/

Pongo has a configuration utility for dual analogues in the archives.

All of what you all said above, and your suggested links, are confusing for me. I think configuration are different from gamepad to gamepad. For my USB Logitech Wireless Rumble 2, only these works:
12 buttons
Directional pad
Left stick as Hat (0, 45, 90, etc. degree)
right stick as Z (Left to right, from -100 to 100 or like that)
right stick as "pitch" (up to down, from -180 to 180 or like that)
Note: in this gamepad many command won't work, like: JoyU, joyYaw etc.

here is a test code, I hope someone else has a better idea for this type of gamepad which is very common.
