Sounds like a simple concept that would take some time to make work. However, if you do get it to work, make sure to share it with us. I am very interested in if this is possible!
No, as Naota said, all you need to do is program each button, so it's pretty easy. Almost all PC gamepads come with some sort of software to program the buttons to fit games that don't natively support gamepads, so I guess it shouldn't be too hard. However RS isn't really a game, and I'm not sure how gamepads work in the Windows environment.
XBox controllers though, you would have to find some 3rd party software to program the buttons.
IMO, there's really no point to it because a large part to MMORPGs is typing. Oh yeah unless you got the new Chatpad thingy.
