I would go to my YouTube channel and watch how I pan views with a hat switch on a microsoft stick here:

Hat switch is dead reliable and dirt cheap and all that is needed to do the job.
Extra hardware and software makes things more complicated and less reliable. Watch in the future how many guys you fly with that drop of the server so they can go straighten out a problem with their track IR or some other accessory program. Never happens to me unless I physically break the stick, a rare event....
