This one is much harder to work with. The basics is the board that you connect your buttons to acts just like a joystick. You then load special software/firmware onto the board itself, but the computer you plug it into basically sees it as just another joystick. I have this specific board, but I don't know if it can act like a HID joystick. A relatively cheap option is the Teensy boards, which are easily programmed using Arduino and can show up as a joystick without much effort.
