Hi, Jim. I might also like to add that supporting alternate game devices such as joysticks, wheels, etc is actually easier than it sounds/looks. Your first step is to enumerate all the devices that meet the specifications you supply the ForEach statement. Once it finds one you can create a device object for it. Once a device object is created you then can set the cooperative level, parameters, etc on the device. Finally, to acquire the device use the device.Acquire() statement to actually acquire it for use. The last step is to simply have a input timer or input thread that monitors the device and see if the axis has changed and checks the Byte[] array to see if the buttons are pressed.
