    Is there any software that allows to use a mouse as a Joystick? I imagine it shouldn't be so hard for a programmer to cheat Windows and make it believe that has a 3 buttons Joystick connected instead of a mouse.

    You could play with your mouse, games that need a Joystick, like so many flight simulators.
