Great hardware, software needs a little work
The hardware seems well-done, the software isn't currently up to the same standard, sadly. When the software is installed, it comes up with the Japanese language selected by default. There are instructions on the website about how to change it to English, but it neither offers the option to select a language during install, or automatically select from the operating system setting.The software isn't very intuitive. They have two 'modes', but it's not clear why the distinction exists. One is called 'Joystick Mode', and from the UI, the hardware can report a proportional X/Y position, but there does not seem to be any support for emulating an actual joystick in the Windows OS. That's a huge missed opportunity. Using applications like reWASD or the Contour Designs Shuttle application as a benchmark, this app doesn't fully exploit the potential of the hardware.Hence dropping a star - at this price point, the expectation level is high, but the software doesn't reach it, even in comparison with products below a third of the cost.The potential is there, but short of writing replacement software myself, I don't know if or when the software will catch up with the hardware's potential. There doesn't appear to be any published documentation for the hardware protocol, so creating alternative software would require some reverse-engineering.
