I connected a PS3 controller and used a free program called xpadder to link the buttons into the mouse and keyboard.

So have the program run at startup. Should be easy for someone with your skillz.

I use JoyToKey. Works quite nicely.

The way I've got it mapped out is like this:

Left analog stick = Mouse movement
Right analog stick = Scroll up/down
A = Left click
B = Backspace
X = Right Click

I also have a few other buttons mapped out, as well as the analog triggers, but I don't recall what's mapped to what at the moment.

No, but you can use keystrokes to navigate without a mouse. Press TAB to move the typing caret (blinking bar thing) to other fields.

Or (I don't know if this is possible) install it as a service so that it starts along with windows.
