I'm looking for a way to get the quadstick to function as a gamepad for the computer, like an SDL Gamepad. I'm trying to get the analog stick for an emulator for N64 working. Can someone help? 

Thanks.

I don't think there is anything in the manual but it's worth rechecking:  USB: Emulated Devices

Does your N64 emulator not have a remapping ability? Surely it should work with one of the existing Quadstick emulators, no? Sorry, I may not understand the problem as I haven't used anything similar.

The emulator can map any button, but I also need an analog stick function.  I can’t use wasd because it’s read as fully tilting the stick.  Is there a quad stick emulator that allows me to use the analog stick function in conjunction with keyboard and mouse in the same profile?

I'm assuming you are running this emulator on Windows.

Have you tried ViGEmBus and QMP 4?  

Most Windows games that support XBox controllers will work with the vigembus emulator.

To install it, run the QMP 4 installer and select ViGEmBus.  Do not install HID Hide.

Turn on the virtual XBox controller in QMP on the Misc tab.   QMP will need to be running in the background while using the virtual controller.

The quadstick can simultaneously work as an XBox controller, mouse and keyboard using this combination.
