Surprised you didn't just use the twist axis of a "side winder" (take the stick off and put a knob on there), that has a nice return. Or a "3D mouse" or "space ball" has a nice twist axis and would work too. It's easy if they are recognized as "gamepads" and not mice... not really sure about that though.
