The Instrument Control Toolbox can handle USB.
However, I don't know if it will solve your problem.
Read about it at

Also, the Virtual Reality Toolbox can handle joysticks

If you type [tt]ver[/tt] in your command window you will get a list of all your installed toolboxes.

Documentation for all of your toolboxes should be available in Matlab's Help.

The m-files for your toolboxes is located in the subfolder [tt]toolbox[/tt] of your matlab installation.

If your joystick acts like a mouse (or can be set up to act like one), that is, the mouse cursor moves across your screen when you wiggle it, you can simply read the current position of the cursor.
