Unique Inputs for PC

Projects General Guidance
1

my project idea:
My goal was to make a small keypad using Arduino as its core, with a few buttons and a joystick.
I want to use it together with my Steering Wheel and Flight Stick, since having my keyboard next to it isnt great considering the space both take.

my problem:
i know it is quite easy to do actually, there is a library to make this task very easy. But i dont want to map the inputs as standard keys (for example button 1 is 'W', button 2 'left shift + F', etc), i would like them to be "unique inputs". To further explain what i mean i have attached a screenshot of a game where i have mapped the keybinds of my flight stick, which are marked as "Mad Catz V1 ...".

I would prefer being able to accomplish that with my Arduino. I am asking for a direction of where to look and/or documentation documents for what i am trying to create.

Thanks in advance

Can You make and post a logic block diagram showing the main build?
Why are simple buttons so hard for so many members?

I havent drawn anything proper yet, just an idea that came up in my head and i wanted to look if it was possible the way i'd like it to work.

Wanted to get some info first before anything else.

but i can draw up a logic block diagram quick.

Edit:
the logic block diagram, pretty simple since that is pretty much all it is supposed to do

Thanks! That clears things a lot.
You need to make Your Pc software open and read the proper com port and what protocol to use.
