Yes. You need to use Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput. It needs to understanding pretty advanced techniques; and the documentation is not perfect.

Main problem is discovery if the features of a particular device and creating joystick events, which is not a trivial thing, as it is based on threading and EventWaitHandle.

Please see my past answers on this topic:
Creating A Joystick Event?[^],
can't detect the z axis of the joystick via directinput[^] (and discussion).

So, if you face problems you know who to ask. :-)
