Sure, I thought that must be the case. If you do decide to add support and need help with testing, feel free to give me a shout. I have an Xbox 360, a couple of Logitechs, and a few really cheap generic unbranded USB pads all available to test it with if needs be. I'm not sure what your gaming background is playing-wise, but I can promise you that this kind of fast paced title would rock on a pad.
