Is there a way to prevent the game from trying to use controllers? A button or a config redit I can use?

I have a set of analog controllers I use for flight sims. They drift, which is not a problem in flight sims, but this type of game take any input as a "1", which means I need to disconnect them every time I want to play this game. 

I'm looking forward to playing more of this game, but it is a hassle to dive under my desk every time I want to do so. :D
