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

Also, the Virtual Reality Toolbox can handle joysticks

If you type ver 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 toolbox 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.
