Well I'm not sure what they taught you wherever you went, but the fact is that analog switch needs to be converted into something digital, and that happens to be a range. Maybe their dev kits are extremely limiting, but on a PC once you get access to mapping joystick axises, you can do whatever you want with any point in the range. You don't NEED to assign 100% of it to any specific feature. It's an open thing. If whatever kit you were being taught on didn't allow that, the people who made the kit screwed up, but it is clearly possible.
Sheesh, what exactly prevents you from taking the input from the joystick and assigning different values to different functions? Did you only go to the school or did you actually take a few programming classes?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
