Highly recommended.

Before that, we used the inards of a joystick and it worked well also, but it was a lot more work.

We also previously used the FirstTouch thing and it was awful. Highly not recommended. Too many driver stability and install issues.
We used the U-HID last year and it worked alright, although it was a little fragile we found. (EDIT: I should note that we just plugged into the header pins and didn't solder).This afternoon, to complement the U-HID, we soldered to a Teensy 2.0 with a little bit of code written in the Arduino environment. Working well so far!
