Can you use an Axis to navigate a Selection Grid easily?

I'm trying to make a menu system for use with an Xbox controller and I want to walk through a selection grid with the left joystick. Unfortunately since its an axis it goes through really fast and it is rather difficult to select a specific button. I would just make it so it doesn't cycle through when you try to leave the array, but some of my menus have 3 items and it makes it difficult to select the middle element. Any ideas? Here's a code snippit.

 if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")){

var something : float = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

if(something>0&&menu==true){ if(selGridInt >0){ selGridInt --; } else if(selGridInt ==0){ selGridInt = 2; }

}

if(something<0&&menu==true){ if(selGridInt <2){ selGridInt ++; } else if(selGridInt ==2){ selGridInt = 0; }

}

}

as you can tell, it makes it difficult to select element 1.

Solved! I made a wait function

function Wait(){ 

hold = true; yield WaitForSeconds(.25); hold = false; }

I used that to limit how often it got readings from the controller.

I actually had a later issue with this because I paused the time using Time.timescale = 0. What I did was change WaitForSeconds to

function wait(){ 

hold = true; timea = realtimeSinceStartup; timeb=timea+.15; while timea
