I think it would be great if it was possible to specify in MCEs mappings from axes (both positional and rotational, as well as trigger position and thumbstick deflection) into the pressure, tilt amount and direction, twist angle, distance from the surface etc of a virtual graphics tablet indistinguishable from a physical device from the point of view of programs that accept tablet inputs (like most of the more advanced image editors like GIMP and Photoshop).
Ideally with a way to enable/disable individual mappings, and an individual "curvature" parameter as well ("gamma function", power-law; somthing that changes the linearity of the mapping).
For the thumbstick, ideally it should offer the possibility of using both plain cartesian coordinates as well as polar coordinates (absolute deflection away from the center in any direction and direction of deflection, versus vertical and horizontal deflection); even better if similar values can also be obtained from rotations (pointing directions) and even position (relative to an user definable origin point, defaulting to the base when not specified)
And for all axes there should be parameters for begin and end of input and output ranges (like for example saying depth position from 40 cm to 20 cm maps into pressure from 0.1 to 0.75) ; preferably with an option to choose between capping and extrapolating past the min and max values (with the possibility of setting the behavior in each direction independently).
