Yes, although you might not need to install device driver since steering wheel "joysticks" basically have same interface as that of normal joysticks(meaning that driverstation won't actually notice the difference between normal joysticks and steering wheel joysticks)
last year we tried to make steering wheel to drive our robot, and i remember it returning x-axis value of 127 on idle position, 0 when turning wheel all the way to left, 255 when turning wheel all the way to right or vice versa (can't remember exactly)
now, if you plug in mouse or something like that other than joystick-type HID, it'll be a different story and I'm not even sure whether it'll work or not, but as long as you plug in joystick-type HID, then you'll do fine programming
