What you can also do is instead of a 3-axis joystick, use an Xbox controller. You have x-axis/y-axis on 1 stick and turning on the trigger. The only problem you then have is potentially getting a strafe when you don't want it, but we found that it's a lot easier to drive mecanum with a controller than with a 3-axis joystick.
