http://www.steim.org/steim/junxion_v2.html steim's junxion should work for reaktor, and if not then maxmsp has the hi object for this kind of thing, then you could send the messages from there with midi or open sound control. gamecontrollers are very easily hacked too, as the innards are allways modular for quick assembly in the production line, so you just need to find where the joysticks are connected to the main board and then substitute other controllers for the joysticks, which are usually just two pots attatched to the x and y of the stick. -hope this helps bobby.
