I'm away from the game machine now, so I cant say exactly how I got it to work from memory, but I have mine set to adjust views like the arrow keys on the keyboard.
So, I use the ministick to glide my way around cockpit framing, or to adjust my seat on climbout so the sun is blocked by framing.
Inside Saitek's software, you can select for the axis to mimic a button rather than a slider. Then just program the stick movement to the key for the seat movement (or other function) you want.
It's supposed to be capable of functioning like a mouse as well, but I never tried that...not a mouselook guy.
