I realy managed to leave the shop (again Game Stop, just different location) without buying, before returning again after New Year. After all, 29.99 for such an unusual device was too much to withstand.

This is a real elaborate description. Too bad USB Device Tree Viewer fails on decoding. Guessing from a quick manual decode the descriptor seams to be well designed.
The OUT-Pipe might feature LED-Handling.There is a windows tool to set the 15 LED for other Usage.

While the Version information tells 1.0, there seams to be an "1.08" version string hidden in the sting table.

Windows assigns the standard HID driver (hidusb.sys) which includes quite some basic devices - it seams as if MS did just straight ahead implement everything defined in the HID standards - cool.
the lower left turn knob controlls localy the degree of turning needed for a full -1 to +1 transition. I couldn't see so fat how the other two knobs are transmitted.
