     Why not check ou the December issue of Computes resource, it has a switch
box project.  Which would be more appropriate to your uses,  I think the total
cost of the project works out to be about $15 and provides a switch
that changes the xy inputs from the mouse to the joystick, to prevent the
problems that arise from the Y cable.
