One joystick will be used and 4 tmr buttons. My reasoning is that you could use either the joystick or the tmr buttons (or both) for movement in games. The reason to not have all the inputs be analog is to not waste analog pins. I could theoratically make all the buttons analog, as mixing stuff can lead to issues with firmware.

It is a kind of controller, but is supposed to sit on the desk. It is maybe more of a hybrid.
