Hi Sjoerd, Just to clarify, while I have no doubt that Mathematica is incredible at recognizing all sorts of devices, it would be nice to have documentation on how to get Mathematica's ControllerState to recognize devices that Mathematica doesn't out of the box. I assume this would require the device driver to implement a particular (standard?) protocol, and possibly a new controller to be defined within mathematica. It seems likely that Mathematica assumes some standard protocol that any input devices should implement. It would be nice to know what that protocol is: i.e. I'd love to see a statement Mathematica that will recognize any devices that implement the **** protocol. This way, when I build a fancy new input device, I can ensure that Mathematica will recognize it. You needed to virtualize the wiiboard as a joystick. This is a fine and a wonderful hack, but it what would an open-source wiiboard windows driver had to know to do, such that Mathematica could recognize it as a device in and of itself? I haven't really seen any documentation on this. Best, -JJ
