I think you are thinking off the Custom Control Interface from eStopRobotics. I haven't gotten a chance to use it, so I can't say if it works well or not.

I've had bad experiences with the cypress board in the past and instead we choose to have a student write a custom program for the teensy board. One of our programmers wrote the code to make it emulate a joystick. I don't have it to post yet but we should soon. He said it was only about 20 lines of code and most of the work was already done by other teensy developers. We haven't run this through a competition yet, we go to Dallas next week.
