This is just a hunch, but try setting those offsets to negative numbers... **important** e.g. --prop:/input/joysticks/js[0]/axis[2]/binding/offset= -0.3 **end importance**
**Extra crap** Also, since the value goes from 0.0 to 1.0, make the offset -0.5, so that the centered joystick rests at -0.5 instead of 0.0 That might help with your problem of having throw in one direction and none for the other direction. Also, play with the factors a little bit.
