I think one (good?) thing we did with the Hercules RMX is that we have
simple and advanced mappings. The simple mappings are probably closer to
OEM, while the advanced ones have a bunch of non-intuitive things about them
(like a button we don't have the feature for re-implemented as a shift
button to cram more functionality into the other buttons, etc). I think if
something matches an OEM mapping, we could call it Simple and then just tell
users like that they should find a Simple mapping for their controller.
