USB or Other Port Code

I didn't find anything searching for "USB" in the Archive. I wonder if somebody here knows what it would take to create a program to receive data from the USB port. And what would it take to build a device to connect to the USB port to give that program something to do. :) I did find some parallel port code in the Archive, however, and am interestedly looking it over. Alas, I don't think I have anything connected to my parallel port. I think my printer is connected via USB. Finally, what about the gameport? What I'm looking to do is plug something into one of these ports and have a program "sendkeys" when it receives a response. Let's say it's a joystick... When I push the stick up, I'd like the program to receive that and then, for instance, send a keypress of "X" to the PC (and it to the keyboard buffer or whatever). Anybody have some clues to get me started?! :)
