Question Joystick controlled virtual mouse

Hi folks,

I have been working on code to control the canvas mouse cursor using a joystick. Below is the code i have come up with. The issues i'm having are that I cannot figure out how to bind the mouse click to a button on the joystick. Also i'm sure my beginners code needs tidying up but i cannot figure out where. For some reason when making a 'psoitive' movement (i.e. x+ and y+) the cursor movement seems to jump a little and is not smooth however in reverse when move towarsd 0,0 on the canvas it works perfectly smooth. I cannot see what i need to change in my code. Can hear my brain sizzling at this stage!!

Any help is super appreciated!

Code:
jx = 0.000
jy = 0.000
def UpdateJoystickMovement():
                e = viz.elapsed()
                x,y,z = joystick.getPosition()
                print 'Cursor is at ' + str(canvas.getCursorPosition())
                print 'XY: ' + str(x) + '-' + str(y)
                global jx
                global jy
                
                if x > 0:
                                if x < jx:
                                                jx = jx
                                else:
                                                jx = (x+jx/1000)
                elif x < 0:
                                if x > jx:
                                                jx = jx
                                else:
                                                jx = (jx+x/1000)
                                                
                if y > 0:
                                if y < jy:
                                                jy = jy
                                else:
                                                jy = (y+jy/1000)
                elif y < 0:
                                if y > jy:
                                                jy = jy
                                else:
                                                jy = (jy+y/1000)

                canvas.setCursorPosition([jx,jy])
vizact.ontimer(0, UpdateJoystickMovement)
