Two Nunchucks to USB [Solved]

I'm using a USB->Wii attachment converter to plug in two nunchucks to play The Stanley Parable.  By default, the left nunchuck seems to turn, while the right nunchuck seems to combine both moving and turning onto one stick.  I'm assuming this is because most programs assume that the left and the right thumbstick will be part of the same device.  Is there anyway around this with 50-joystick.conf?  I tried setting the device matching, but it never seems to go right, as well as disabling keyboard/mouse controll and setting floating.

Edit:

So the first connected nunchuck is recognized by the game.  If I try to set the nunchuck as a mouse, it will multiplex the controls on top of eachother causing wierdness.  The mouse control has to be js1, not js0.  Now I can play The Stanley Parable with two joysticks.

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "joystick-keyboard" #Most software will recognize the first nunchuck as the p1 joystick
	MatchIsJoystick "on"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/js0"
	Driver "joystick"

  Option "StartKeysEnabled" "True"
  Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"

  #Option  "MapAxis1"      "mode=accelerated keylow=113  keyhigh=114"
  #Option  "MapAxis2"      "mode=accelerated keylow=111  keyhigh=116"

  #Option "MapButton1" "key=45 button=none" #K Key
  #Option "MapButton2" "key=9 button=none" #Escape
  #Option "MapButton3" "key=9 button=none" #Escape
EndSection

Section "InputClass" #So we make the second joystick the mouse
	Identifier "joystick-mouse"
	MatchIsJoystick "on"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/js1"
	Driver "joystick"

  Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"
  Option "StartMouseEnabled" "True"

  Option "MapButton1" "button=1"
  Option "MapButton2" "button=2"
  Option "MapButton3" "button=3"
EndSection

So the gist of the problem is:  I want one nunchuck to function as a mouse, and the other nunchuck to function as a keyboard.

This is my current /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf.  I haven't tested it yet, but it might be getting closer to what I need.

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "joystick-mouse"
  MatchIsJoystick "on"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/js0"
  Driver "joystick"

  Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"

  Option "MapButton1" "button=1"
  Option "MapButton2" "button=2"
  Option "MapButton3" "button=3"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "joystick-keyboard"
  MatchIsJoystick "on"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/js1"
  Driver "joystick"

  Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"

  Option  "MapAxis1"      "mode=accelerated keylow=113  keyhigh=114"
  Option  "MapAxis2"      "mode=accelerated keylow=111  keyhigh=116"

  Option "MapButton1" "key=Enter"
  Option "MapButton2" "key=65" #Space
  Option "MapButton3" "key=65" #Space
EndSection

Good call.  I'll do that now that I figured this out. :3
